How many males is too many?

[Qualara]

I have 10 quails, 5 male 5 female. The boys keep trying to kill one another, they have plenty food, water and grass to wonder on, but I just keep getting blood. How many males should I have with 5 females?

I think 1 male per 5 females is the ratio for coturnix quail, are they coturnix or something else?

Yeah they are. Oh darn... I have to find homes for my other babies.

Yea, you could get by with having 2 males in that group but the smaller one would be a bit bullied. 1 male per 3-5 females is ideal.
