Hi all,
I have quails in 2x3 cages.
The three cages are : 1 male with 5 females, 6 females, 6 females.
Now I get MUCH better egg laying in the cages where the females are not bothered by a male. Could the sole male in the one cage bother the females so much it can affect laying? Egg production in other cages has been good and steady for more than 2 weeks now. Male has been with the females for a couple of weeks as well.
I am thinking maybe the male is too nervous and really freaking out everybody. Should I introduce another male instead?
Thanks!
