Heat should be removed around 3 weeks under normal weather conditions.....otherwise permanent feather loss can occur on the neck and back. Overheating may also be contributing to aggression.

What quail are these ?

What kind of quail? How many? It sounds like you have enough space for about 6.

My first guess would be insufficient space. How many are there?

if I remove light heat some of them gather over each other and some die due to this . I started to add calcium solution into the water in the last 3 days and i start see the diffrence . Also the weather at night it getting low nowdays so i cant turn off the lamps .thanks .

What are you feeding them? The two most common causes for the problems you're having are:

1. They're overcrowded.
2. They're not getting enough protein in their feed.
