Help! My quails are attacking each other!

[Gigicoco05]

Okay. My ideas are too only keep 4 which include the three I have already and either way or sell the rest of the eggs.

Four is a good number. Your choice of either one or zero cocks, and the rest hens. You don't need a cock to get eggs. Some hens lay better if you have a cock. Some hens, especially if you have an overzealous cock, lay better WITHOUT. You'll need at minimum 5 square feet of FLOOR space for a flock of four, one foot for each bird plus room to place food, water & a shoebox sized box of sand that will be used as both grit and for grooming.
My quail pens are only 2x3' and house 8-9 birds each. I make up the lacking floor space by adding a second floor that they can hop up to (they won't use ramps and they won't fly up), and I put their groceries and sand box on the second tier. This opens up all of the floor space below for running, hopping and doing quail stuff.

Alright thanks so much! I would like to know how to tell if your quail is pregnant?

 

[Fishkeeper]

Quail don't get pregnant. They make an egg inside their body and lay it immediately, every couple of days, they don't hold a baby inside them like mammals do. You'll know they're laying eggs when you find eggs.

My hens make a certain call when they're laying eggs. It is a soft, yet distinctive sound that I call the "Oh This Hurts" sound that typically starts a minute or two before the egg arrives.

Oh ok! I’m new to this so like it’s my first time for everything. Thanks for the info!

maybe you should take out the one being bullied. We had a quail who was missing a couple feathers and then we came back later and his head was really badly pecked up .

our quail do that to we call it the "fireworks noise" because it sounds like fireworks before they explode.

I put pine bedding in there coop thing is it bad if they try to eat it? Or do eat it?

Mine peck at theirs. They seem healthy at 5-8 weeks old. Cedar is toxic to them, but pine should be fine.
