So turns out that my quail Clarity is a male. So 2:2 ratio was going on and I didn’t even know. The guy that we bought him from told us that he was a girl after we had to get him because one of our quails died. The other boy looks more “fertile” which makes sense because we thought Clarity was a girl for so long. However, the girls look like they have chosen Clarity over Etienne (The other boy) and I don’t want to go against their wishes. We are thinking of trading one of the boys for 1-2 more girls to straighten the ratio. Thoughts?

Thanks,

You should definitely get more hens. The proper ratio for coturnix is one roo to three to five hens.

I hope you're not thinking of an actual trade of the extra roo for hens. There are always too many roos and it's unlikely you'll be able to find a home for him.

Finding homes for roos isn't impossible but it is more difficult then hens, if possible it'd be better to keep both roos.

Thanks. The only problem is that I might not have enough room for 4 more hens. I will have to measure it.
