I hatched out some Coturnix eggs, now I have seven birds around 7 weeks old. Three have turned out to be roos. I know that it's best to leave just one roo with a few hens, and already the three males are picking on each other and the hens. They are all in a big cage together. I'm wondering what the best option is to house the "extra" two roos. I am not interested in culling them for meat.
I thought of just putting a partition in the cage to separate the two extra males from the rest of them, but I'm guessing that if I put two males together they will fight. Would they each be ok in a separate cage? Or would they be lonely by themselves? Should they be able to see the other birds even if they can't get at each other?
