I have 16 celadons originally from Alchemist Farm hatching egg lines (had 17, but one hen went psycho and nearly killed 3 others, so she went to freezer camp already). I’m noticing that the most a-hole birds I have are from this line of celadons. They are mutilating each other constantly and never seem to sort out their pecking order, even though they are removed from all females. They’ve got more than a sq ft apiece in their pen. They’re all nearly 8 weeks old and are definitely sexually maturing - but they’re also just all mean and unpleasant little birds overall compared to my other non-celadon quail.
Is this a common thing in celadons? Or maybe just a random occurrence? I haven’t seen this extreme of aggression and general jerk-ery with my other birds from MyShire or SW game birds, even when mixed with female hens! I’m at my wits end with these guys where I doubt we will end up keeping any for their genetics simply because they’re so mean.
