He ended up passing but he made a strange little noise that ended up being a respiratory infection, I believe. He had made the noise ever since he hatched. He made a crinkle/tapling noise when he breathed. He never met the other birds, and was just in the same room as them. The egg he had...

Hello! I have 8 quail chicks. One was the only to hatch from some eggs I had stuck into an incubator, the rest I picked up from a breeder today. The chick I hatched seems to have some sort of respiratory Illness. I am keeping him separated from the rest.. I was wondering if it's okay to keep him...

Yes! Button quails are. bobwhites and coturnix chicks are larger than button chicks, but still small in comparison to a chicken.

His crop seems fine. I think it's a respiratory issue, does anyone have any recommendations for antibiotics?

I could not see any food or anything that could be blocking them.

No, to me it sounds like a faint, occasional tapping. I've never had respiratory or crop issues with any of my birds so I'm unfamiliar with how those issues sound like.

No, the mouth is closed when he does it which is what is confusing me.

Hello! I recently put some quail eggs to hatch, and only one has hatched so far. The chick hatched yesterday.. anyway, said chick makes a strange noise. It sounds almost like a faint tapping or clicking. It's not exactly consistent, but its occurring enough to concern me. The chick drinks water...

So I have a chick who got splay legs so I put a bandaid on him last night. I just checked on him and he slipped out of one end of the bandaid yet he seems to walk normally. Should I leave it off or keep him on it for another day?

I have a quail chick with spraddle. i put a bandaid on his legs but i'm not sure if it is big enough or not. he tries to walk but just falls everywhere. the space between his legs is one cm. suggestions? i just put on the bandaid.

update- thank you all. Yesterday I put a hole in the egg an peeled away some of the shell and rubbed water on the membrane to keep it moist. The chick was alive but wasn't making anymore effort. But, another chick hatched and caused the one stuck to make effort, and I have now four chicks. Three...

So a few chicks hatched out yesterday and one is kinda acting strange. It's panting and just won't be around the other chicks. It's legs are far apart and it cannot walk. Any suggestions? Awhile back I saw a post on how to help chicks with legs that are apart like that with a bandaid. Please help!

How does it not overheat/warp?

Alright.. Well all these eggs have been in the incubator for 22 days, and they are actually quail.

I was going to toss some eggs out of the incubator when I heard a peep come out of one, but there is no hole in the egg. Should I help the chick out? what do I do? It has been five days since 17 days of incubation, for a total of 22 days. Corturnix quail by the way, im not sure if i should act...

How long should I wait before tossing eggs out of the incubator? I have a few eggs in the incubator that have not hatched since they were supposed to. It's been 4 days since 3 days lock down. Should I toss? Thanks.

Alrighty so I candled my eggs and are the embryos supposed to be seen from one side only at this point? There is one egg with feces stuck on the shell from egg gathering, should I toss it? All the veins are bright and vivid.

Thank you all! I did notice a few puffed up feathers at one point on a male. I have seen mice and have been trapping them. I'm tempted to rewire the outside of the flight to try to slow them from coming into the smaller pens.

I have incubated birds in the past and normally i would let the eggs sit for a day, but today I bought a batch from a guy and he said they should be ready to set into the incubator- should I let them for a day? This guy had a few pairs and said he could only do half a dozen at a time which I...

I have raised buttons for quite some time but I would like to find more resources on raising. Such as nutrition and housing: My coop for them has quite big wires so they run on the wooden planks, so I was wondering if anyone knows a good coop design for them that's easy to clean. And I'm sure...
