Hello everyone,
I noticed I had a male quail that was missing his tail feathers and his butt looked bloody where he was being pecked, so I pulled him out of the covey to heal and now notice another male with the same problem. There are 12 georgia giants - about 4 months old in a wire brooder that is 8 feet long by two feet wide. There are 4 males and 8 females.
We plan on separating into trios this weekend, but I"m afraid the two males will get pecked by the females. Any ideas or suggestions?
