esta Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hi I have a male and female californian pair of quails who are currently in a small arc, today we are moving them into the newly built avairy and are wondering if we could put some more quails but different breeds in with them? is it possible to have more then one male in there as well? The avairy is around 6ft high by 3and a half ft long and wide if this is any help. Please respond asap :D thanks :) Esta x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyjulian Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 You could possibly put some more females in, but you would need to introduce them very carefully and very slowly. I wouldn't put another male in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I thought you were best to have 3 males : 2 females ... introduce them slowly when you move the others to the new aviary. Not sure, maybe you could speak to the breeder to ask about ratios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think its 1 male to every 3 female. goodluck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carole63 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 most coturnix will mix happily but introducing another male to an already established marriiage is, well shall we say, imagine if you did it at home! give your girls some meal worms to distract them then introduce new girls, the male will smell them and mount them all in seconds and once accepted by him the girls will accept them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esta Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks for the replies everyone I got some more quails a male and female and integrated them slowly and it was a huge success, no biting, s"Ooops, word censored!"ping, fighting or anything, and the pairs got on with eachother swimmingly x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
