Hello,
I have three pairs of bobwhites,
i separated them at first sign of aggression, so now, each couple have their own apartment.
I tried to put the male/female couple that looked close together, as not to break any relationship already established.
now they are still in sight of each other, but in different cages.
it was all fine for a few weeks, eggs are getting more regular, when one of the male decided to aggress his female friend.
I had to separate them, the female had an injury at the back of the neck and was totally subdued.
The female is recovering fast.
But what is my next step.
put them back together?
put the female with another couple (biggest cage is 3 feet by 5 feet)?
just keep it the way it is?
Any help appreciated
PS: I never though I was going to become a marriage councilor when I started quails!
