Hello, lovely BYC people! So, Fallfly, my ancient baby of a 5 year old quail, who has outlived 3 hens, is getting old, I'd say. He seems to want to keep on living, despite my worries of him being lonely 😅 For about a year now, he's had seemingly permanent balance issues where he even steps on...

I noticed this swelling on one nostril once many months ago but it sort of solidified and didn't seem to bother him, so I left it alone. But now his other nostril is also swollen, but the tissue is soft. Does anyone know what this is? I know it has to be some infection, but what specifically...

He's been molting for at least a month now, but these feathers won't grow back, I'm not sure why. I also just noticed his eye is covered with something when it wasn't a few days ago. I took is off as much as i could, but i have no idea what this is. Could his age (4.5 now) be part of it? He...

One of my quails hasn't been eating for a few days, and now I realize she's a lot more passive than usual. I thought it was a temperature change because it got cooler for a few days and that's happened before, but it was so minor. She goes in the food bowl because it's habit and even gets...

Here's a picture. It's an assisted hatch chick and I had to tape it's feet for the past 3 and a half days, but this one foot I can't get straight enough because it squirms around a lot of course when I tried to put the tape on. I don't think it's just me that the toes are slightly curved still...

A client of my mother's who I know called me recently with a sort of business idea. I have an incubator and she has Serama's and eggs, so why not raise and sell some? Now I have 1 egg in the incubator and 3 hens died, leaving her with a just rooster. We're trying to buy some more eggs to hatch...

My quails only seem to know how to get hurt, for real. Anyways, so here's Fallfly, my male. It's been maybe a year, or almost, since he started having balance issues. He would trip over his feet or step on one foot or fall back when preening, and I've looked at him before and I once thought his...

Hi. I wanted to ask about something because I know quails are social and need to live with others. I used to have my male with one female and she went bald very quickly. She actually passed away when she was one. I then got him two females, and it was still chaos and he was still pretty...

I feel so bad a out this. I only ever most a thread when my birds are hurt, and they seem to have a thing about hurting their legs. My oldest, and my only male hurt his leg now. He's hopping around but otherwise he's acting normal. He keeps laying down and using his wing to balance himself, and...

Can anyone tell me why Fallfly's face us swollen a bit? It's around his left nostril. I noticed it a week ago but it was only a small cit or something it seemed and a bit swollen.

Hi. I just went in to check on my quail and one who for the past week and a day couldn't walk has a big infection or SOMETHING on her! I thought it was minor since since she had once before hurt her leg but it was fine in a few days. But then I saw slight red coloration on her feathers and cut...

She won't stop bleeding now from her beak and she's so small it's so much blood for her and corn starch won't stick and I don't know what to do. She's smearing it everywhere, I think she lost touch blood she sounds like she's having trouble breathing or something I'm not sure. Edit: she laid an...

MY QUAILS TOUNGUE IS STICKING OUT BLEEDING VERY HEAVILY I THINK THE OTHER FEMALE ATTACKED HER!

Hi! So I just went outside to check on my quail and I found my male's feet were all entangled in string and so I quickly cut it and brought him inside. Heis sitting in my bathroom sink with his feet in the was and the string cut through to his skin. Other than him sometimes holding one foot up...

My name is Ocean! Well not really but I don't have a nickname so that's what I go by online. I am a birb mom and have 3 fudorable (made up word) Coturnix quail that I raised like they're my children. They even lived inside until a certain point! Are you new to chickens / when did you first get...
