Two Hens suddenly attacking almost everyone else...almost

[Nabiki]

16 square feet is plenty of space for 5 quail. Do they have hiding places, though? If not, try adding some. It wouldn't hurt to add another hen, but if your male isn't over breeding the four he has it isn't necessary.

Has anything changed lately?

The question is about quails not chickens.

Who said they are quail?

The original poster. And this thread is in the quail section/forum. I missed it when I first posted too.

I would be surprised if it was a space issue. 16 square feet of space for 5 quail puts them at more than three square feet per bird which is way above the suggested minimum.

They are much smaller than chickens. The largest is only slightly bigger than a grapefruit.
