Thanks HopKat for my PFM ♥
Issue: Our three male quail have started to crow overnight, generally from around 4am when the sun rises. I've tried blocking most the light out. I cannot move the cages as they are attached.
Information:
Any help or advice would be awesome, my previous males were almost silent so this is a new issue for me. Thank you
Information:
- We have 6 cages, 3 on top and 3 on bottom. The top 3 are currently empty, the bottom 3 have 5 females and 1 male in each. The 3 cages are all attached side by side and I cannot separate them.
- They are kept in their own shed and I open it every morning at 7am to allow for natural light.
- These 3 groups are planned to be our fertile egg layers and are doing a decent job on that so far, always have food too.
- They are free to crow all they want after 7am, it's just beforehand that's causing the issue.
- In every other way so far they're all so well behaved with each other and their hens are very happy!
- My ideas were to cut and hang towels in between the cages to stop the males seeing each other and the other females (although they would still hear each other?). My other idea was to buy some huge towels and just cover the cages completely at night?
Any help or advice would be awesome, my previous males were almost silent so this is a new issue for me. Thank you
