I have two quails, a male and female, I have had them for almost a year now, and they've always got along, they've even laid eggs together! But when I was feeding them some greens today, I noticed my male quails (Mr Pumpernickle) back had its feathers plucked out and his back had dry blood all over it. So while wondering what caused it I saw the female (Mrs P.) was chasing him around, at first I thought they might have just been playing, but then she started to peck him and attack him, I immediately grabbed him and separated them, I have him in the bath room with food water and shelter as I don't have an extra cage, because I have never needed one. He is very scared and shaken up over the whole thing. I can hear the female calling out to him.
What should I do and how should I help his back? If anyone could give me any information it would be much appreciated.
