Hi I bought two eight week old males two weeks ago and added them to my 8 quail. My 8 will be 6 weeks old Saturday but since the second day of having the older males they stopped crowing and all ten are together and no one fights at all they all sleep together and eat together wondering if it's possible my 8 are all female 7 of them are a&m color
Also once they hut 6 weeks if I have more then two males is that when they will start fighting
 
Six week old birds are probably not hormonal enough yet to fight with each other. There is the chance your 8 young ones are all female, but adding two older males and seeing no fighting right now is not necessarily proof that only those two older ones are males. Wait a few more weeks and see who mates with who and who chases who around.
 
Just wanting to make sure that's normal and that I'm not gona walk out tomorrow morning and one has been killed or hurt because I don't have another cage for them yet lol
 
You'd know if they didn't like the new comers as they make unhappy, angry, chattering noises and there is chasing and pecking. So if all is calm then there shouldn't be any dramas. Males that are happy and settled rarely crow.
