i was puzzled the first time i saw it too. its just the hen defending her territory. the male got chased around for hours before they finally settled down!! they'll settle down soon enough :D

yep, as spanna said they'll do it for ages! or sometimes just a little peck and it's over.
I have 6 quails, pair of silvers, pair of normals and a pair of cinnamons. they all chase each other but no one usually gets hurt.
