Phesants are pecking at each others tails causing bleading.

My pheasants are pecking at each others tails causing bleeding. Anyone know what to do about this problem. The get lots to eat and drink and I think they have plenty of room. Have like 22 M/f pheasants and like 9 quail in same pen. They get along OK. Any help is welcome.

How large is your pen?

 

[nychickenman55]

It is about 12' x 8' x 8' H with a 6'x3'x3'H coop attached.

Pen is wat too small for that many ringnecks.They are cannibals by nature and need lots of room.And then throw in 9 quial,no one has enough room.I'm surprised they haven't killed all your quial.
Go to your feed store and buy some blue kot,spray it on the open wounds and try to get them seperated into smaller groups.
In N.H.,Tony.

Agreed, much too small for that many. You must really be feeding them well if they have only been picking and not killing each other.
