I have a prolapsed quail, and I have been working on her for about two hours now. I soaked her in epsom bath, and tried to massage the egg out. It looks like she has two vents, though, and i'm kind of worried. Any advice?
I need some help (yes it's me again). I got 50 chickens today, they are all a day old, but five of them are having issues. They twitch and fall over, and can barely stand. These are the sick ones, but the rest are normal. They walk around, eat and drink like normal, so they are not too warm or...
