    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Update- The food processor arrived! Not the best at grinding that starter feed but it works great when mixing in the boiled egg and vitamins (some vitamin b tablets didn’t grind all the way so I chopped them). I mixed a whole egg, 1/2cup of starter feed, 4 vitamin E pills, and 4 vitamin B...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Thank you! So for the adult quail I’m having to use a light bulb and heater since it’s still too cold to open the garage even during the day. My sleep schedule got a little messed up which messed up theirs but I just shut off the lights after being on for six hours and will turn them back on at...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    So I got a different B-complex which seems to have different nutritional values as the nature made brand. I attached both photos. The tablets I got are smaller, but appears to have way more B12 than the other brand. I’m not sure how many I should use but for now I am going to use 1 tablet along...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Thank you so much, I’m definitely going to be doing that as well. I have another concern. For my quail chicks, I have 28 total (23 in the main brooder and 5 separated) and they are all being kept under 24/7 light. I’m using the light as a heat source and was wondering if that’s okay or if I have...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Thank you for the advice. I bought this one for $14, nice and small. And sadly this goat tube is not returnable on Amazon, so I’m stuck with it. Hopefully I’ll need it if I decide to raise a goat :p. I’m definitely going to prepare a nice meal for them with this food processor. I was thinking...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Thank you both! So nothing I ordered arrived yet despite being advertised overnight shipping, except the goat tube that I no longer need lol. Here’s a pic of its contents, vitamin E does seem low. I do prefer hard-boiled egg instead because they like it, especially the way I prepared it for them...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Thank you, gonna grab that along with the vitamins, so perhaps I will add it to the water along with vitamins and hard boiled egg. I also put a small amount of starter feed. Hope it works!

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Wow, must be rewarding raising it, thank you so much for the tip! I think I saw some electrolytes at TSC. I knew I should have bought some of those supplements on the rack when I had the chance (quite a long drive). But hopefully I can find them and some betadine online. I have a batch of over...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Sounds good, so can I use the vitamins and boiled egg for both the quail with wry neck and the quail with the injured foot? By the way I noticed his swelling goes up his leg too. Any chance you can link a picture to the vitamin E gel caps? And do I just chop everything up and place it in the...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    I did put a paper towel tape cast on his foot because it was curled originally. Attached a photo. That may have caused it but I do remember the leg was slightly bigger than the other when I first put the cast. In any case I do think the foot may be sprained. Going to get those vitamins ASAP! If...

    Quail chick foot is swollen

    Hello, my quail chick has a swollen foot, it doesn’t seem to be bumblefoot because it is swelling on the top of the foot rather the bottom. Could it possibly be a form of gout? This is my first time hatching and raising quail. I also have a chick with wry neck and I purchased the 80ml vitamin E...
