    Quail with leg paralysis

    There are days when she can get up and walk perfectly fine around her pen, this is what confuses me. The majority of the time the legs are stuck behind her, and it's like whenever I'm considering culling she seems to jump right back up and I'll see her walking around the cage.

    A quail and a silkie

    So I incubated 14 coturnix quail eggs and 7 silkie eggs. The quail hatched wonderfully with 12 chicks, but the silkies was a poor rate with one 1 silkie hatching. They are 2 weeks old now and get along great, the quail are nearly the size of the silkie chick and there have been no issues. But I...
