I noticed a case of aggression from the female towards two males, while there was no aggression towards the third, as she clearly prefers him. If no solution is found, it will be necessary to separate the female from the others. Try introducing her to a new environment, but closely monitor for any signs of violence. In my case, the situation almost escalated to the point where the female nearly killed one of the males.
 
Have you ensured adequate space, a balanced male-to-female ratio, multiple feeders and hiding spots, and introduced the quails to a neutral environment? If aggression persists, have you considered isolating the aggressive female permanently?
