A PSA about Quail Roos and Population Control

I raise jumbo courts

I know they can play 1 for 4 or.more

Im.almost certain bons need.1 for 1

Thank you! I’ll be rethinking my bobwhite habitats. My goal now is to figure out their sexes. My husband and I plan to capture each one and photograph. I’ll post them here if necessary. They are lovely and interesting birds for sure!
 
I bought 3 adult quail. Asked for 2 hens and 1 roo. Accidentally got 2 roos and 1 hen. After the one roo got the poo beat out of him, we realized our problem, so he's been in solitary, but getting lots of attention, until recently when I moved my 6 weekers outside to the grow pen. About to have to cull a lot of males, but seriously. This is a given if you hatch or have a mixup like we did. I'm taking a load of the boys with me to NOLA so me and my mom can have some good eating and she can hands on teach me how to process them. It's part of responsible husbandry.
