This is ridiculous! I finally decided to 'thin out' the boys in my coturnix pen since I knew it was male-heavy...the bald-headed girls told me everyday
Total of 15 birds in the pen; I knew there was a tuxedo male, a cinnamon male, and 2 white males...so male-heavy just with those. What I didn't know was that all 4 of the Rosettas in there were also males
So that means I've had 8 males and 7 females in this one pen since this spring. No wonder the girls didn't lay much, I'm sure they were stressed beyond belief!
I took the 4 Rosetta boys out, but there are still 4 males with the 7 females. I have a few other females inside that will be going in there soon, but that will still only be 11 (if the 3 Rosetta girls inside are, in fact, girls
) girls with 4 boys. I guess I'll take one of the white males too, or maybe take both whites and keep the young tux?? Decisions, decisions
