Hello!
I have a quail who seems to be causing issues. She has been starting to try and peck my other hens in the eyes. They are the same hens that she had flocked with for a while. The only thing that’s different is the age difference. I was told she was a jumbo coturnix (she is not) and that she is approx 12 weeks old (I can tell she is not by the length of her beak).
The others that are with her are also not jumbos but are younger based on beak size.
My question is this. How do I get her to stop trying to peck my other gals?
Also if anyone knows of any jumbo quail farms in the western states please let me know. I’m SO tired of vent sexing quail and would love to just have a flock that you can sex by feathers.
EDIT: They have plenty of resources (water, food,etc)
