    Young quail with irritated foot?

    He’s fine during the day when he’s outside, they’ve got a range of flooring, some wire, some grit hay and towels. A few branches too. It’s seems as though it’s only when we bring him inside at night he gets funny. We’re currently mid-construction of their outdoor enclosure so we bring the 3 of...

    Odd Bobwhite quail poop?!

    yes! Thank you for the reply! I guessed it was a cecal poop after reading some people’s comments on quail droppings in general. I hadn’t a clue what this was before (I’m completely new to all this) & since the chicks weren’t acting sick I thought I’d just keep an eye on them and they're all well...

    Odd Bobwhite quail poop?!

    So I have 3 (approx 2 days old) bobwhite quail in an impeccably clean brooder. They’re eating and drinking fine and there’s no strange behaviour coming from any of them. However I’ve found several unique runny droppings on the floor with a yellowish tinge (see photo) they different from the...
