My Button Quail Are Picking On Each Other, What's The Best Approach?

[ButtonHoarder]

This one is not better but here it is anyway:

They are roughly 2.5 square feet I think

Wow That is a lot of space!

That's comforting to hear. I read somewhere that the minimum for a pair of button quail is 1 square foot, but I'm not sure if that's correct or not

Idk much about quail but that should be plenty!

They might appreciate more hiding spots, like little houses or more fake plants. Then if one is being bullied, it can easily escape.

I agree with @ButtonBag . They need more hiding places. Dollar store baskets, cardboard boxes, just about anything will do.

Ok thank you, I'll find some stuff.

Another question I had was is it big enough?

 

[Nabiki]

That seems to be big enough. Of course, you can't have too much space, so if you want to make it bigger, they won't mind. ;-)

You have a lot of space. I've found very useful a "second floor". Your coop is high. You can add something like a table shape with a ramp and a small box with dirt on it. This way you will add 2 hiding places, up and ander the floor. It's good exercise and boredom buster. I provided one to an old couple I have and she escapes there when he becames aggressive. I also hung vegetables and throw a few seeds in the sand box to keep them busy.Make sure your ramp has something they can grab to, because they are not much of a climbers. I keep repeating that about the 2 floor, I know, but it really helped me in many situations.

I know it's looks like they have a lot of things but now they never quarrel. ( The ramp needs changing often. It gets popped)

and I use this mesh to avoid waisting. Once on the floor they won't eat it.
