I keep my Coturnix in pens with 2 females to a male, in one of my pens I have not been getting any eggs the last few days and the females heads are tore up so I am assuming the male has them all stressed out over-breeding them.
I pulled him out and put in a pair of Tibetans that I had in a pen as a "pair" because their other female had died. So now there is one more "gentle" male with three lady friends and the aggressive male is in a bachelor pad all alone
he is NOT happy lol he has been calling out since I put him in there alone, I am thinking of putting some nice romantic novels in with him to make him more of a ladies man but until that happens I will just ask you this lol
Do you keep your males and females in small groups like I do or do you just allow your males in with the females every few days with the intentions of them breeding then separate them again?
