    eggbound or sick quail

    My little 12 week old tuxedo has been acting funny since yesterday afternoon. She's puffed up and looks like she's trying to poo but never does. ..no discharge or breathing issues, still eating a little and drinking. I picked her up and she let me, which is not normal! Nothing broken or cut on...

    silver laced wyandotte.....or something else

    I bought this chick last week at a feed store. I'm not sure which hatchery they use but the tub this was in was labeled silver wyandotte. I've looked through tons of pictures and my chick seems to be much darker. Plus her legs/feet are dark not yellow.

    tiny gnats biting my quail!

    I noticed the past few days my quail have been itching more than usual. I thought it was bc they had some pin feathers growing but no...This morning I noticed tiny little gnats flying around inside the cage and landing on them. I squished one and blood came out gross!! How do I get rid of these???
