Hi!
I was hatching runner duck eggs and following the breeders guide to hatching themselves. I had them at 50-55% humidity for the first 25 days and 70-75% for lockdown. I had 3 ducklings hatch on day 27. Day 28 rolls around and no others had pulled. I ended up pulling them and saw no...
This is our 15 week old prairie bluebell. Looks like saddle feather, but there is no comb development. Any ideas? Never had this breed before. Than you in advance 🥰
I found one of our quail today that is super off balance and she has diarrhea really bad. When she tries to run she will fall forward in her chest and use her wings to stay upright. She does not seem lethargic, she is very alert. No other symptoms. I did check her ears and they looked...
Sorry for the bum pic. I have a mama that just emerged out of her nesting box today. She has some baby chicks in tow. She is straining to poop and her bum is messy. Is this normal after being in the nesting box for a couple weeks? I am assuming not. Any advice on how to help her would be...
Hi! I have a quail that I noticed was keeping her right eye shut. She has no other signs of illness. I thought she may have had something in it, so I rinsed her eye with an animal antimocrobial eyewash. She does not have anything that I can see in here eye nor do I see an injury. I rinsed...
Hi! We have a mama coturnix quail that has been sitting in her eggs and they are due to hatch any day! Question, do you leave mama with the babies for a certain amount of time and then remove the chicks? Any advice on how to manage this would be amazing! Currently, she has been secluded away...
Have a male that developed cloudiness in one eye. He doesn’t seem blind in that eye and is acting totally fine other than that. Just noticed it as of today. Any ideas? This is the best picture I could get. It doesn’t show the cloudiness very well
Went out to check the quail before bed one more time today and noticed that one’s beak is bleeding and broken on the tip. What can I do to help stop the bleeding? She is currently separated and being monitored. The tip of the beak is not bleeding horribly, but would like to help stop it for...
I got a new quail that is 3 months old. We have 43 total quail. She was vent checked, but she is crowing every once in a while. I have vent checked her several times since out of confusion and still a female! No bulb and no foam. What the heck?! All of my others are super obvious. Any ideas?
I have this really sweet baby that’s 2 weeks old and in the last day or 2 I noticed her neck is leaned over to the left and it’s pretty extreme. She is one of the biggest quail babies of the 38 we have. She is eating and drinking just fine and walks normally. I am weighing her and tracking it...
Hi! I have a 2 week old baby with a swollen sinus and a little bit of a watery eye. The other side is totally normal and all my other quail are fine. I have been treating with terramycin (ophthalmic ointment) for 2 full days administering 2times each day, but not seeing much change to the...
