I have been reading that Coturnix quail are best when processes at 12 weeks old. If I hatch out a bunch of babies to use for meat, there will be a lot of males, as well as females. But I've heard that you shouldn't have more than 1 male in a pen with 4 or 5 females. How do you raise all those excess males without them fighting? Is the "1 square foot per bird" rule apply when you are growing them out for meat as well as your breeders?
Thanks
