Yes, the ideal ratio for coturnix is 5:1.

two at least for one, four is preferable, and add four for each male after the first.

I agree with the 5:1 ratio. I've had groups with fewer and with more, but the 5:1 seems to reduce the over breeding that happens with fewer. More than 5:1 and egg fertility begins to be lower.
