So I have a roo and a hen and everything was fine until one day my hen decided she'll stay being very very mean. She was the size of my roo when I got her now she's much bigger because she eats all the food and leaves very little for him, he acts as if he does not want to eat if she's not there and trends to leave her the food. On top of that she pecks the roo, constantly tearing out his feathers, he does not fight back just run away a bit only to be followed and pecked again. I've heard of quail just snapping and going permanently crazy for no reason and I'm afraid that might have happened to her. I don't want my roo constantly hurt and deprived of food. I seperated them with a see through sheet so he'd heal, they constantly saw each other just couldn't touch. I've put them back together for a bit today to see what'll happen and after literally 2 minutes she started pecking him violently going crazy at him. I was thinking of selling her and getting my roo a new hen. They don't 'bond for life' as far as I'm concerned do they ? Will it be ok if I do that ? I don't want my roo constantly hurt and having them seperated constantly gives them little space.
