Spare Rooster Housing

[Byrdj]

I want to keep some extra conturnix roosters to rotate out with the hens in order to mix up color varieties and the gene pool. Are coturnix quail like chickens where you can keep several roosters together without fighting, as long as there aren't any hens with them? They would be housed in a section of a GQF #0303 breeding pen and would like to house 2 or 3 per section.

Does no one keep more than one rooster together without hens?

Depends on how may females you have with them I think it is 1 male to 4-5 females..Atleast that how I did it.. I will tell you though you will have problems when trying to integrate the males that you house seperatly.. Quail do not do well with newcomers.. If I have to take a quail out for pecking etc.. It is a pain to get them to not fight.. And Quail are visciuos...
