Male quail not Crowing.

[Pecksthesilkie121]

So I got some coturnix quails 10 to be exact and 2 of them are males each male has 4 females (I think) the first quail is doing fine but the other isn't crowing or mating (atleast not that I can see) I only saw him mating one time I put the quails in a predator proof cage and put them outside but the second male still isn't crowing neither in the day or night. Can I get some help or if he's sick.

If he is otherwise acting fine, he is likely, well, fine. Either give him some time, or perhaps realize that he may be crowing/mating when you aren’t around. You can check to see if the eggs you are getting from his pen are fertile or not. Then you’ll know for sure!

Ok your probably right the male quail that I was mentioning the one that didn't crow probably hasn't reached sexual maturity yet I bought them like 4 days ago. Thank you for your help.
