The first time I introduced new quail, I thought I messed everything up.
They immediately started chasing each other.
Now I expect it.
š§ What Actually Happens
When you add new quail, they need to figure out the pecking order again.
Thereās always some chasing.
ā ļø What You Should Watch For
Normal:
- Chasing
- Pecking
Not normal:
- Injuries
- One bird constantly getting attacked
š§ What Worked for Me
I make sure:
- Thereās enough space
- Not too many males
- Birds can move away if needed
That usually keeps things under control.
ā Final Thoughts
Donāt expect a smooth introduction.
Expect some chaos at first, but it usually settles down.
