Hi, recently i noticed that one of my two 3 week old coturnix quails suddenly just started pecking the other quail who is a few days older than it, I let them out of their box for a hour or so to let them roam free but the younger quail chased the other trying to peck it. But sometimes they would sleep right next to each other with no problems im quite stressed about this situation as is the older quail when it sees the other sometimes (I say sometimes because i have tried partitioning their box to quarantine them for a few hours but this just made the younger quails aggression seem worse) I am baffled at this situation as it has suprised me... the younger quail never seemed to be the one who would turn out to be aggressive as when they were a few days old the victim quail would peck a syringe i used to give it water whilst the younger one was scared of it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me as i do not want to cull it because I have had quails in the past that i have needed to cull as there were too many males, it affected me as i was attached to them.
Thanks.
Thanks.
