I have a lone Quail as of this morning, her friend had a broken beak and though she did really well to try and survive it must of got infected and spread to her head. She was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk, drink or eat, she'd messed herself and settled in a corner of her cage to die, so I...
This morning I found that one of my 3 Quail seems to of hurt her left leg. She's not moving it and her foot is scrunched over. I haven't got any pictures right now as it's too dark, almost like shes trying to walk on the back of her foot. She's dug up some worms so shes eating and drinking fine...
I usually rinse mine then put them in the fridge, after about 2 weeks if they haven't been eaten I throw them, sometimes my dog eats them in between. We hard boil ours, peel the shell off and eat at work on lunch break :D
