still all living together though with a bit of squabbling now and then but nothing serious thankfully. No quail eggs for me!
The only one that I could tell for sure was the bird in the middleJust to update anyone who is interested, all 3 turned out to be boys
Appreciate it isn't easy from a single photo! Do you think they'll be OK to live together as a bachelor trio? They have a 3ftx6ft full height run, wanted to make sure they had space to escape any bickering!The only one that I could tell for sure was the bird in the middle
I guess they needed another week or two to be able to see their adult plumage. The other two in the pic sure looked like females!
That's definitely a male in your profile pic!
They should do fine. I have a pair of males in a 180 sq.ft. enclosure, doing just fine, added another male last week, (about 7 weeks old) there has been no problems. The one male that brooded his chicks last year, has taken up with the 'new male'....like it was his chick? I don't exactly understand this behavior, other than he thinks it was just gone for awhile and just showed back up??? The chick tries to get under the male, like he would a broody hen, the male just gentle pecks at him to let him know that he's too big to do that....it's pretty funny to watch!
