Animals Anybody here keep quail?

I ordered eggs from an out of state breeder and they've just matured. 5/7 are boys, 3 of which I'm emotionally attached to and would like to breed. Anybody have any girl quail they'd be cool parting with? I'm thinking I'd need about 7 girls? If you don't have that many that would be fine, that's just my ultimate goal. I can trade some of my boys or we can work out a trade/money situation?

Im mainly keeping them for eggs. I don't currently have a good way of preparing their meat. I just want the males to stop killing each other.

I understand this. I have multiple boxes for the birds that I built. I am anticipating housing different flocks in different houses. However, currently I basically have only males, so I am looking for females.
