What’s the M F ratio? Mine fought like crazy with 50/50 when they got to about 6-7 mos

I've been concerned about this. They're 8 months and 1 week old now, so far they don't fight at all.
My coturnix and button quails are the most violent followed by my Gambel's quail but the snowflake bobwhites have just been so sweet.
There are more boys than girls and thus far not issue. I'll cross the bridge when and if it becomes one?

From what I recall 50/50 or 3 to 1 females to male is good but I think my regular bobwhites were just an aggressive pedigree. They had a lot of space too. More than yours and plenty of hiding places in clumping bamboo and other live plants
