give them space and keep their stress low. interaction in the dark is best for flight birds growing out. Semi divided pens ( short walls or obstacles ) will help reduce interaction and stress. The ability to remove the worst aggressor and the bloodied bird will be valuable. a varied diet helps, give them clover clippings and weed seed along with feed when you can. boredom is a big contributor to pecking.34 of 55 have hatched so far and their still going. I noticed their aggression in the brooder last night. I planned to give them the entire end of my breeder building 15 x 15 x 8 ft tall as a free flight area to condition them for hunting. With food and water handled externally so they rarely see a human
Thoughts ? I'd like to trio some of them for breeding.
good luck and enjoy
I look forward to the day i have time to take on quail again
