Hi quail friends!
Turns out our 3 button quail that hatched are two males & one female which is a no bueno! I was hopeful that our silver & black one would be a female.....nope! They are 9 weeks old & the males are getting aggressive with the female...yikes. so I was hoping, crossing fingers that someone within a 2-hour drive from Wilmington, DE might have a female available? Not sure getting some eggs to hatch would be the best thing??

I am trying to keep the female & one male together within sight of the other male.....any one have any advice??? I want it to be as less stressful as possible. I had the female by herself but she became a little stressed calling for her friends.

Thanks-
Jamie & Brinley

You could try post this in the Delaware forum. I note it's sure not very active but one member is rather helpful there. Good luck!!
