a few days ago one of my girls was bit by a dog, I cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide and I've been applying Neosporin a few times a day. She's been eating and drinking well but she's been pecking at the wound, and not giving it time to heal. Does anyone know what I can do? I was going to...
Today when I had let my ladies out, two of them seemed normal and the other two just walked out slowly and were almost sad-looking.. fast forward like 10 minutes I found one of them in the bush and wouldn't move. I checked her, in case she was eggbound (they're only 16 weeks, but you never know)...
Today one of my quail didn't look so good, so I brought her in the house to get a closer look. I started to get REALLY worried, even to the point that I started mentally preparing myself to lose another bird.. I held her on my lap expecting her to take her final breath when all of the sudden...
My quail, Turkey, has been acting strange lately. She's been slower and having some trouble walking, and when I picked her up, she felt underweight. I did some research and it said she might have nerve damage from not drinking enough water? If anyone had experience with this please let me know...
I wanted to make a thread where everyone talks about what makes them happy, so here we are! currently listening to music with my quail, and it's so wholesome watching her try to stay awake.
I have a mix of celadon and coturnix hens together and I was wondering if there are any other game birds that can live with them? I heard pheasants could but I don't know if that's true, and I don't have space for them anyways so that's out of the question. I also heard grouse could but I don't...
I just saw one of my quail with an abnormally large nose, he's eating and drinking just fine but if its something serious I want to know before its too late.
I went to go check on my quails this morning to find like 14 eggs in a small hole, all in one spot. later, after I collected them, I went to go fill their water and one of the hens was laying where the eggs had previously been. I didn't think too much about it until another quail passed by and...
I have a 3 day old quail that's gone almost completely limp. which means she cant go to her food and water. shes been stressed because there other one just like this in my hand. so I've been having to help her clear her vent. someone please help I think she might die :(
I think one of my quail has quail disease. A few weeks ago one of my birds hit his head really badly in his cage so I put him in quarantine to keep a close eye on him. He was doing well but when I went on a short trip I left a friend to check on the birds. She didn't have much experience with...
I have a really annoying bird that crows every 30 seconds every hour of the day. I couldn't bring myself to process him since he's a beautiful, healthy bird so I put him for sale. Then another younger quail picked up on the habit. Since it just started, if I get rid of the other bird will he go...
This came out of a chicken egg from the store.. (also I apologize if this wasn't the correct place to post this but I wanted to know what happened to this egg) It looks like something had developed inside... last night we also cracked another one with blood inside but nothing had developed...
I have two chicks that are a little less than three weeks old and I need help sexing them. Number 1 I am almost 100% sure is a boy (he's a jumbo quail) it's mainly the second one I'm confused with. It seems that it's a boy with the red feathers but my other chick has been trying to grab the it's...
I have two, two month quail that are both laying eggs. one day, one of my quail started laying odd looking eggs. The shells started to get weaker, and they would vary in size. In the picture, the white one has dents in it because when I picked it up the whole thing almost cracked, which took me...
I had four quail hatch and in the brooder. One of my chicks that were three days old fell asleep on its back and one of its siblings came and ran over it, killing the poor thing. I want to prevent this from happening again so I wanted to separate them but I don't have enough room for separate...
I noticed one of my chicks not walking around very much and having a hard time. After a while I noticed its eyes were sealed shut. Can someone please help me with this
I have eleven coturnix quail eggs that are not internally pipping yet on day 18 (from what I can tell). Are they going to hatch? this is only my second time hatching quail and I really need help. The incubator is at 70% humidity and the temperature is at 99 degrees fahrenheit. The first time I...
