Hi
I've had a look through similar posts but can't find anything not relating to new introductions, so sorry if this is a repeat! I have three female quail that I hatched from eggs about a year and a half ago. I did initially have a male (Kevin) but I had to 'dispatch' him earlier this year as he was causing too many problems. The hens have always got on well, but in the last week one has started picking on one of the others. I'm not sure what's caused it as I haven't changed anything. The one doing the pecking was ill a couple of months back (it was very much touch and go) and had to be separated for a bit, but they were all fine when I put her back in, and have been for at least 6 weeks. Can anyone suggest something I may have missed, or give any advice on what I can do? They are my first hatch so if I can avoiding culling them I'll try anything! Thanks
