I have 40 2 week old Cort. quail, and another 18 in the incubator. I've 2 large coops prepared to split the flock.
Question: Can I keep 2 Roos if they have +15 hens? Or will they still go after eachother?
Thanks :)
 
Depends on the temperment of the males and the amount of space + hiding places you have available for them....that many females together, you might have fighting amongst themselves or they may attack the males. It's really a "trial & error" type situation.

+1 to 007Sean's advice. I'll add that I've had good luck with 2 roos with 14-15 hens, but my enclosure is full of enrichment and places to break line of sight, etc. My roos have had spats, but since they can get away from each other it's less bloody than it could be.
