How many Males Can I Put Together..?

[PoultryParadise]

I am just starting out with my first quail. My husband brought home 9 in a box, he saw a sign on an old country road and stopped, of course, and bought some quail at random.
So there are 5 females and 3 males, yes I know 5+3=8 not 9, as I said I am just starting out with quail and didn't realize how well they fly.
So I have them in my brooder for now, will be moving them to their wire cages which I have just been setting up, they are 4 months old, bobwhites. How many males per cage? The cages are big. I don't know how the 5 females will handle 3 males come mating season? I may eat one to even the numbers out.
So, can I house 2 males with 5 females and not have fighting? Or should I seperate the 2 males and give them each some females?
Help is appreciated, as I surely need it!

You'll Find That Unless Kept In A Very Large Pen Bobs Do Best As Pairs, Possibly Trios Depending On The Hens And If They Will Peacefully Cohabitate.

Thanks, the individual cage sizes are 3 feet by 3 feet for the winter. In the spring they will have an outside run.
