Which Coturnix Rooster to Keep?

[tnias]

I got 7 Coturnix chicks from a farm when they were about 3 weeks old. They’re now about 8 weeks old and we’ve ended up with 4 hens and 3 roosters. I’m trying to decide which one to keep and I don’t want to make the wrong choice. One is definitely chases the others around a lot more and two of them are much more vocal than the third. Is there a way to tell which would be the best to keep around? I do want to eventually hatch out my own eggs.

I always keep the gentlemen. What you can do is house two seperately and rotate each male for a dlfeq days to see which one is constantly harassing and which the hens are calm around

Remove the one running like crazy. If the next 2 are good keep the larger of the 2 or whatever other things you prefer such as coloration.

They’ve also started crowing ALOT more throughout the day. Is this due to so many roosters together?

Happy roos don't crow much. If there are too many, they definitely crow more. Which one you keep depends on what you want. Do you want size? Keep the biggest? Do you want personality? Keep the calmest. Do you want pretty? Keep the prettiest.
