With the A&Ms, they need about double the space browns do... like with most quail if they are in tight living quarters they will fight... but A&Ms are MUCH worse about it. They will just flip switch one day to the next and you gotta cull em because they wont stop fighting after that. I had to watch mine real close... Its usually the females that fight, not the roos. I got down to where I had to keep one roo with two females only and had to match up females that got along with each other... It was a big mess, Id come home to bloody birds, dead birds, feathers pulled out everywhere... I got sick of em. The browns on the other hand... never one fight... the A&Ms were a bit tamer with me than the browns were, but the A&MS didnt like each other...
Meat wise.... the A&MS arent worth it either... I bred up my browns to where they were all the same size as A&MS dressed out...
I had to get rid of all my birds because we moved and we havent built our house yet where I can start up again... but if I do do quail again I will do browns and some other color varieties... I will not touch white birds again. AND I dont reccommend white birds for a beginner either.
