    It really looks like she isn't comfortable putting a lot of weight on it. She can move fast still. Her feathers are growing fast.

    Thanks for checking in on her! She is doing ok today. I just took a picture. You can see how her foot looks pretty well if you zoom in. I hope she isn't in pain. Just changed their water. They make a mess.

    Thanks! I tried a quarter scoop for half gallon so I didnt make too much. I even drank some to make sure it wasn't super salty. Tasted fine. That dust that comes out of the bottle When I opened the bottle stinks!

    SOMETHING KILLED MY QUAIL

    I am so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I have my button quail indoors and my dog got into the room where I keep my cages. She has never shown interest in them before. One day we forgot to close that door and found feathers everywhere when we got home. You cant be too careful...

    I bought some vitamins from Big R. Does this look like too much sodium for button quail? It says safe for all poultry. It says 1 scoop is suppose to be diluted in 1 gallon.

    Thank you for the tip about the coffee grinder. I made sure to clean it VERY well. Wiped it out with 70% rubbing alcohol afterwards. Wow! Nice! I really like that powder mix. It says that it is for quails as well. I will be going to Big R today to see what vitamins they sell. If I don't find...

    Hi there! I have uploaded a short video to youtube. Here is the link. It was still hard to get a good look at her leg but if you play it in slow motion near the beginning of the video, you can see it. What kind of vitamins specifially? where can I buy them? Big R?

    cute litte button quail FOOT ISSUE?

    Thank you! I tried this, but she would work so hard to just get it off that she was constantly falling over from pecking at it. I worried she was hurting herself. I noticed her hatchmates were pecking at it constantly as well, which scared me enought to take it off.

    cute litte button quail FOOT ISSUE?

    Hello. Just hatched out 3 baby buttons quails. Absolutely adorable. They are all healthy except for one Bird. She has a foot problem where she basically walks on the side of her foot. I tried getting a good picture of her standing there but she was too fast (a good sign I suppose?) I had a hard...

    Button quail face swollen

    Thank you bhaugh. I have her separated and I saw the vet 5 days ago. She gave her some antibiotics and an anti- inflammatory. I have been giving her twice of each daily. The vet also put a drop of something on her jugular vein area to kill possible lung mites. I am starting to see new feathers...
