Hello, can anyone give me some advice on how to separate a group of button quail, please?
I have 6 quail, all aged around 8 weeks old, so becoming mature. They all got on fine in a large cage until about a week ago when the alpha male (Banana) started bickering with another male (Dragon). So I...
Thanks very much for the replies... So the second could be male even if it hasn't developed the bib? I was thinking it was a hen because when they were younger this one was completely identical to another (pic below) but he now has a very bright bib but this one's never appeared...
Thanks, we were convinced the first one was a boy just because there was a dark and a light one but actually one of the definite males seems to have taken to that one and has started offering food to it. Will be interesting to see as it's called Kiwi... I may have to change my username!!
I have recently got 6 Chinese Painted Quails and they have reached the stage where I need to split them up before any fighting starts. Three are, I think, 'Normal' variety... Mainly greyish colour but getting darker as they get older. Two are definitely males, complete with very obvious bibs...
