OK so I have 15 bobwhites, 4 males and 11 females, and this past few days the females have been acting weird theyre chasing each other, is that normal, there is no pecking or anything its just the females chasing each other, normal or not?
oh and my i add too that one of the females is acting super hyper, like all the quails would be resting and shes just runing around the pen like crazy!!!!!!

AH Spring is in the air my friend, and the bobs are feeling frisky.

What your witnessing is normal behavior for breeding season in bobs. Keep an eye on them usually the hens dont do much more than run one another, but on occaision they can get mean and somebody will end up with a bloody head or tail.... They're just reconfirming or testing the pecking order before its baby time.
