1 female jap with bald back

[Stumars]

Hi

We have 5 indoor quails. But recently 1 female has a bald spot just below her wings on her back.

She keeps getting sawdust stuck to it.

Any ideas?

I tried that. No avail. Could it be that she is georges ( our male) fav ? I was thinking his feet scratching her?

How many males do you have?

 

[Stumars]

Yes.

I have 5. Should I seperate her alone or give her another girl for company ?

Separating her isn't going to fix the problem.

Can you take a couple of pictures of your cage?

No I would not remove her.
Can you get a picture or three of your cage set up please?

They are currently indoors as the they were only hatched in sept. So waiting for weather to warm up. They have 2 connected boxes ( with chicken wire windows. Totalling 1.5 meter by 1 meter.
They come out twice a day for 2 hours to run around the house too
