Single male coturnix

[Racol4k]

Any suggestions, I put my cot boys in a separate pen. All fine apart from one boy. He was chasing everyone. So now he's in his own pen but not happy. I cannot kill, I'm a wimp. I have 2 pens each with 1 boy 4 girls. So I don't have enough girls to go round.

You could sell or get someone who is NOT wimpy and he/she can butcher him.

I was going to suggest that you hatch some more, but then you'll have more males as well. Were you planning to raise quail for eggs?

we're wimps to! we put the extra male in another tote and buy female birds to keep him company

Yes I am keeping them for eggs but I also like them as pets. When I hatched ducks and chickens my success rate wasn't good. Put quails, buttons and coturnix in inch and nearly all hatched! I now have 19 of each

Ah I see. I had the same situation and I gave away the extra males to a neighbor.
