After 5 years to the day i originally joined. today I am back... the girls are still not allowed where I live but, my neighbors now are more open mined. We will see how it goes. I have missed have chickens. I do think it is very funny that i posted a recipe for an herbal mash a few years ago to...
It should be. You still may have some trying to prove themselves but I've never had coturnix that did real damage to eachother. Just some scraps and lost feathers now the bob whites seem to be much more scrappy but even they can be controlled.
Welcome to quailing! I find as long as they can't see females they are fine. I have a cage that has a solid decider and it works fine but I think everyone has their own methods.

So my hubby is letting me keep the girls for now. We did have a surprise rooster and could not find a home for him. We had to dispatch him since chickens are illegal were we are. But if you must do it here is a link to a video. She makes it so much more peaceful and natural. It is a little...
It sure is and only getting smaller. LOL I lived in palm city farms for many years and virgin islands before that all before here and wish I could go back but it will do for now until we can get our multiple acres.
