Hi everyone! I am new to having quail and I'm hoping you can help me. I've recently taken a young (very flighty) male king quail from a family member who couldn't keep him, he used to live with a female but she died just before we were given him. I currently have him in temporary accommodation until I can get the two storey rabbit hutch he used to live in moved over to my house. I would love for him to have some friends and I've read a male can live with a few females.
So, my question is, once I have his hutch in my garden and I've built a bit of running space, if I introduce a couple of new females how should I go about introducing them? Should I wait and put all of them in the "new" hutch together? Should I put him in first and then slowly introduce the girls through a fence or something? Or if the females already know each other and he's the only male is there less likely to be aggression? And is it better to get him a few girlfriends or is one sufficient? Lol
I wanna make sure I do this right! Thanks for any help
