    Quail Disease?!

    That’s what I was thinking via a quick google search. I was hoping not because I am 6 months pregnant and do NOT have the stomach to drain his eye. I used to but pregnancy has made me weak! Do normal vets see these birds?

    Quail Disease?!

    Hi all, I purchased this Buttonquail from a farm in Arizona back in October. I noticed within a few weeks, this eye was turning blue and he was having trouble seeing out of it. He had been with a mate until his mate passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. (I don’t know how old these birds...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    Everyone in the flock seem to be doing okay! They are all acting the same, so maybe it is just his personality? I completed the course of antibiotics as discussed, and no one else has passed. My Darth Vader (Wolfgang) that was ill, his mate, the silver female (Puff) is also laying eggs now so...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    Okay I have administered the doxycycline into the water for the whole flock just to be safe! He seems to be doing okay, he just not perky. He’s eating and drinking fine on his own. Hopefully everyone will be okay. I’m still so devastated and mad about losing the blue female.:barnie Hopefully I...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    Great thank you so much! I have 60 capsules, I had just filled the rx and decided not to take it. I can also get more. They drink from hamster waterers, filled with purified drinking water (I purchase it by the jug) so I need to buy distilled water to use? also, when I clean out their cages I...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    I just checked my online medical chart for it. It is doxycycline monohydrate 100mg. It is blue I believe. It was prescribed to me a few months ago for sudden cystic acne which wound up being hormonal (hubs and I have been trying for a baby for quite some time) so I stopped taking it because it...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    No I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with the deceased hen. I’ve had dozens of button quails for years without an issue with the adults. it’s just these new ones that I’m having difficulty with. They peck at the sand sometimes but only when they take their dirt baths. Is there a...

    Sick Button Quail?!

    @TwoCrows thank you so much! I don’t notice any sounds while breathing, runny nose or eyes. He feels normal in my hand. He’s with a silver female currently and 4 more (2 pairs) are in the cages above with no contact. Is the silver female with him in danger? I have doxycycline on hand. They are...

    Button quail chicks violently dying

    Hi all! I’ve started feeding them Manna Pro Game Bird/Show Bird Feed today (was just finally able to get it) and haven’t lost any other babies thus far. I’m also thinking it could be a genetics issue. I’ve been searching for someone to trade these babies and some adult males with in order to...

    Button quail chicks violently dying

    Thank you all so much. The reason I’ve been feeding them this way for the past few years is because they lady I got them from raises hundreds and that’s how she feeds them and she’s never lost a chick. I sometimes feel like it’s just me! :barnie

    Button quail chicks violently dying

    Hi all! I’ve attached a photo of what I am feeding them. Of course I crush this up almost to a powder so they can eat it. I lose a couple chicks like this every clutch I hatch from different pairs of birds. I’ve lost a few ENTIRE clutches (4-6 chicks) in this same manner. I always buy this feed...

    Button Quail chick feet problems?

    My red breasted female and White male Button Quails hatched three babies about 2 1/2 weeks ago. A few days before I lost the brown one last week, I noticed it was holding it’s right foot up into its wing and didn’t want to walk on it. I assumed it got broken from being stepped on. This morning I...
