I put my last remaining quails in the little aviary and my female is showing aggression towards the male and then this mourning there fine whats wrong

welcome back!! haha long time no see. thats perfectly normal, nothing to worry about at all shanny

thanks but she has never done it before ever

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

ok thanks what do u have

i have king quails. 1 breeding pair (normal hen silver male), 1 breeding trio (one normal boy with 2 normal girls), 3 spare silver hens, 3 spare normal hens, 4 spare normal males, 1 spare silver male, 5 juvenile normals, 3 two day old normal baby quails and 2 nests

wow thats a lot of quails i had 3 but the female had her head between the floor tray and the cage wall

yeah it is a few anyone want some?! got to get rid of em...

only reason i have so many is because i have 3 breeding aviaries plus a holding aviary shanny. sorry to hear about your hen.

well i am off gone to watch UFC

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.
