My quail turn 5 weeks old today and my mom texted me while I was at work to say that one of them was chasing the others around and wouldnt let them rest. I got home and sure enough, one of them was chasing the others round and round in the enclosure. I watched for a while and saw him try to mount a quail when he finally caught one! I was going to wait a week or two more before trying to sex them, but I sort of assume he is a male now. Anyways. Should I separate him? The other seven quail seem exhausted and keep trying to hide some him, but he seems a little upset when I tried to put him in a separate enclosure. Any tips? I attached a picture of him bc he’s really cute (and super friendly! He’s been sitting on my lap the whole time I type this and everyone else is taking some well needed naps lol)
