I'm conducting an independent study at Hampshire College in Amherst MA where I and another student will each pic a breed of chicken and then manage a breeding population of that breed at the school. I've done some looking for sources of the birds on my list but I thought I should also check if...

I just recently had two coturnix hens die of something that I can not figure out. The first bird went from being healthy one day to looking lethargic, having a swollen and squishy area around her vent, and she appeared to have lost a lot of weight. Thinking it might possibly be egg bound I gave...

I have a coturnix that has a swollen hock so bad that she is forced to walk on her hock because her lower leg is stiff and not usable. I have kept her separate cage and on shavings instead of wire so she doesn't have to move much to get food and water and so she can rest her legs. Her other...

I found my quail like this yesterday. I think it's an abscess but i'm not sure. Does anyone have any ideas on what the bump in the middle of her chest might be and if so how should I treat it?

Here is a picture of her swollen foot and hock. I do believe she has scaly leg and here is another picture of her leg that I showed in my last thread (quail leg problem).

I have been treating my birds for what looks like Scaley Leg by putting petroleum gel on their legs as has been suggested. One of my birds is weaker than the others. I have segregated her in a separate cage. She has great difficulty standing and even more trying to walk. I have noticed that...

I have noticed that one of my birds got two ridges along the front of both of her legs.I watched her closely and then about a month later she started limping. Then a week later almost all of my flock had ridges along their legs. Here are some pics This bird does not have the problem...

tonight I went to feed my birds and one of my quail looked sick. I picked her up and found a lot of blood and what looked like guts sticking out of her vent. I isolated her and now I am wondering if there is anything I can do for her. I'm also wondering what things might cause this.

I noticed that one of my birds looked like she was trying to push something out and there was a bulge right behind her vent. I thought she might be egg bound so gave her a warm 15 min bath. During the bath her bulge got larger and she started pushing harder. After I dried her off she was not...

I have Bantam Coturnix(almost 2 years olds) that are missing down feathers and other feathers. What are some things that could cause this problem?

I am seeing some health problems and I am concerned that there could be an underlying issue I need to deal with. I have had birds develop difficulties walking or standing and one bird I observed this in actually died. I will try to describe the circumstances here: Starting with the most...

Every once in a while I would get a bird that was not able to stand, usually because of an injury that happened seconds before. But on one occasion I had a bird that just collapsed. To help these birds I would keep the bird separate from the flock. I would put a towel into a doughnut shape and...

One of my coturnix quail hens was standing on one leg yesterday. Today when I held her to check on her leg, both legs gave out! I separated her and I'm using a make shift towel nest to keep her wait off her legs. Does anyone know what is wrong with her and what I can do to help her?
