I have 5 coturnix quail; 1 cock and 4 hens. They keep pecking each other, especially around their eyes. There isn't one particular quail doing this, so seperating 1 would be useless. The cock is also mating with 1 of the hens too much, and her head is bald and very sore.
Do you have any suggestions to keep them from pecking each other, or any good websites or books I could read?
They are 1 year old, and my first quail, and whenever I look stuff up online, its for meat quail and does not cover things like this.
Also, how long do they live?
