Hello, my quail chick has a swollen foot, it doesn’t seem to be bumblefoot because it is swelling on the top of the foot rather the bottom. Could it possibly be a form of gout? This is my first time hatching and raising quail. I also have a chick with wry neck and I purchased the 80ml vitamin E...

My two beautiful button quails. Silver: Togepi and Brown: Starly. Togepi is male i think, he has the red tinted feathers at the end of his tail.

Hi all, having been inspired by the wonderful posters here at BYC, I recently started rearing coturnix quails. I know this is going to sound silly but I have been rearing my 7 bobwhite chicks alongside a coturnix quail chick in the same brooder box. That coturnix chick came from the only viable...

Hello. I have a 6-week quail (rooster) that I notice a day ago that has a bump on top of his head and today when I checked he is swollen like a balloon around the neck and head. It feels like just air inside. He is moving normal I don't see him eating much. Normal poop, legs and wings are...

Hello Quail Peoples! I am looking to transition my quailies to an outdoor aviary set up but don't really know where to start. They have been living in a large stacking dog kennel situation (think three Great Dane-sized kennels) on cloroplast litter trays and horse stall pellets- 4 quails to...

Hi everyone, Excuse me for my English since I'm an Egyptian whose native language is Arabic. So one of my new hatched quails (6 or 7 days old) is closing one eye totally, i forced it to open its eye and put some anti-inflammatory eye-drops inside of it. It also has a neck sprain as shown in the...
