I never knew about the 1:5 ratio. Ive had a male and female coturnix for 3 years. Dale and Gale. Never had any issues with feather loss or aggression. I think its partly because gale was a jumbo and dale is very small. Now that im looking for a new female after gales passing, i noticed every farm ive been to to buy a new female is neglecting thier flock. Broken toes n feet, gouged eyes, no feathers, lethargic and completely terrified self injuring while jumping around. They always try to just grab the sickest one and have it ready so i cant pick the good ones. Its like a massacre every farm i visit. What do i do?
@@RedneckGirl86 I called animal control about the horrible conditions and poor/no flock management and they said there's nothing they can do, stating "that's just kind of how it is on farms". I refuse to believe that. Those birds are being put through unnecessary harm, preventable torture. The only thing I could think of is to volunteer to manage their flocks for them, although 90% of the birds I've seen are past saving. They are just laying around waiting to die:(
Great video 👍🏽
This will definitely help me out.
Thanks for sharing
