I have 4 female quails that live in a rabbit run of 12 sq feet, that has shelter, branches, sand the lot.
One started annoying the others and peaked one of the others heads so separated them, for two weeks, changed everything around in the run and reintroduced her. Everything was good, then bald heads starting appearing again on three quails, including the one that was doing the peaking.
During the day they seem fine together no chasing or fighting, so this must be happening at night. Could they be getting freaked by something like a cat, or hurting their heads other way (i have looked for sharp objects etc and there are none).
I do change their cage around alot as move it every three days, would they not like this? I don't know if I should separate them again they seem much happier together apart from the bald heads, and would have to get rid of the one causing the issue.
they were laying there eggs all together in a straw nest, but this has changed recently too and they are scattered anywhere and sometimes one doesn't laid for a day or two
Any advice please, or what i should do?
