I've have done this I clipped but hit vein didn't bleed to death just nicked. So now I use a lady nail file and just square it off,
For a really bad quail I have a bantam chicken pecking clip they are pence. Work fab once on right. Stops the full on attack to bleed. Doesn't stop the fighting just a lot less damage caused so far so good. Most quail. Just tip works but I have one hen who is nasty as she is a silver I need herto breed from. She hates the silver cock is fine with the texans.
