    Vent Gleet

    I think it may have been vent gleet because it responded to yeast infection medicine but I don’t really know as I don’t have a medical degree and don’t diagnose. I don’t know what you do for prolapsed vent. There are posts others suggested what to do for that. Thank you. It is a relief to know...

    See photos. Also (I did antifungal cream for 3-4 days 3x a day). However, I also tried to make sure the quail passed some poop before treatment but the quail was not really passing much poop. So first used liquid instead of cream- I started with using azo crushed pill and water to help with...

    This worked well for me but remember I’m not a doctor. I put yeast infection cream in an eye dropper by squeezing the tube into it. Then plunged some of it into The vent three times a day. About 4-6mm. I also First Cleaned the vent gently with warm water squeezed and padded with paper towel...

    We saved a baby quail by assisting his hatch

    Nope. I suspected they had died. Those two did not make it. But we saved one. And have a total of three birds out of five.

    We saved a baby quail by assisting his hatch

    Thank you. I’m not really seeing any picking or movement in either egg. Maybe I should wait. Or maybe I should help. What is the rational behind helping them now?

    I thought I saw a little but not sure. I’ll let them be for now and check back in an hour. Thanks so much for your help.😊

    We saved a baby quail by assisting his hatch

    Thanks. When I did the candling I had a hard time seeing. It’s all dark to me. When I made the safety it looked like dark color underneath... maybe feathers. Maybe I should try a different spot to do a safety hole.

    I put a safety hole in each. I’m not sure if the membrane is open enough. I use a stick pin to Polk through but the flap appears to close back. The safety hole really tiny. I hope they get air. I understand they may not live but it’s worth a try.

    We saved a baby quail by assisting his hatch

    When I candled last night it all looked dark and we put them in water and they slightly floated with most of the egg under water. I thought they are probably alive then. Would the top where they floated likely be the air sack to make a safety hole?

    Yes we got most of the membrane off of his head with a wet q-tip. We will try to get more off in a little bit.

    We saved a baby quail by assisting his hatch

    Thanks! We had a total of five viable Coturnix quail eggs. Two hatched on their own. The third we had to assist because of membrane stuck to his head. He is doing well with the others now. It’s 22 days and we have two not hatched in the incubator. I was debating on helping them pip or just...

    22 days two left not hatched

    Should I help pip or hatch the remaining two quail eggs that have not pipped nor zipped after 22 days of incubation?
