    Grit for Coturnix Quail Chicks?

    Can anyone recommend a good grit for coturnix quail chicks? I want to start giving them treats (hard boiled eggs or fruits and veggies) but I need to buy some grit first I think. I saw probiotic chick grit for sale, but I think it’s for chickens. Would it work for quail chicks too? They are a...

He doesn't seem like he is in pain: He gets around to the food and water with everyone else, and even jumps and plays. When I stretch or...

    I have a week old quail chick who yesterday started limping. I now believe he jumped and landed weird. I don’t think it is spradde: neither joint is swollen, couldn’t feel a slipped tendon, looks the same as each other and the other chicks. His right leg is not pointing straight but instead to...

    Six-Day Old Quail Chick Walking Weird

    Definitely some possibility he could have been injured. They like to take running jumps and I caught a couple of them on top of the heat plate. If he jumped off of it and landed wrong he definitely could have gotten a sprain. He gets purina gamebird starter crumbles and water with probiotic and...

    Six-Day Old Quail Chick Walking Weird

    I’m not sure how to attach a video here, but it seems now like he’s begun to limp as well :( His feet aren’t swollen and I didn’t see any wounds though. Maybe it’s a sprain? Sometimes the chicks sleep with their legs stretched out so many one of the others slept on top of it and hurt him?

    Six-Day Old Quail Chick Walking Weird

    All my quail chicks wing feathers have started coming in! One of them has started walking really funny. He squats close to the ground and holds his wings out beside him while he walks. I checked his legs and them seem fine (not slipped hock, no curled toes) so I was thinking maybe his new...
