    HORRIFIC HEAD WOUNDS

    One of my Quails got attacked, I don’t know by what. He hasn’t eaten or drunken any water. He sits upright with his beak touching the ground. He is shaking. There are no vet clinics open, and none that specialize in birds. I have some electrolytes that I can mix with water but he won’t drink it

    Quail - Shaking, droopy head, very weak and skinny

    I was out this morning filling up the feed and I noticed one of my Quails sitting in the back corner. Her head keeps dropping and she will jerk it up, and then it will drop down again. She’s shaking a bit, seems really week and skinny. She had a pretty long beak. Her droppings are liquidy and...

    Can my hen hatch quail eggs?

    Hello! I have heard of hens hatching quail eggs before. I’ve been told that the hens might crush the eggs, because they are too small. But don’t quail eggs have a thicker shell? I’ve seen someone put something that looked like metal shells, that you put quail eggs in and the broody hen can sit...

    3 day old chick with head tilt?

    My baby quail chick isn’t standing up and when I pick him up his head is tilted. He will twist his head until he is almost looking upside down. He was fine yesterday. He just lays on his side and sometimes his head shakes and he flaps his little wings and kicks his legs. It’s really had to...

    He can’t get around very well. He just lays on his belly with his feet out to the sides. I tried making him a brace with a bandaid but he couldn’t get up. Any ideas?

    Baby Chick not doing good

    I hatched some quail chicks. This one (#3 ) hatched at 8 this morning ( day 19 ) He hasn’t eaten anything, but I’ve been dipping his beak in water and gave him some stuff that is similar to nutridrench. After giving him that, he started to get up and tried to move around and walk more (before he...

    Baby chicks aren’t eating?

    I’ve been pecking at the food with my finger, but they haven’t eaten or taken a drink. Is this a problem? They hatched last night.

    Baby quail chick can’t stand up!

    I had a quail chick that hatched about 5 or 6 hours ago. His toes are all curled in and he won’t stand. He just kind flops around. One of his legs is pretty red, and one of the toes is almost black.

    Can a hen hatch quail eggs?

    Has anyone tried? I have two black sex link hens and two barred rock hens. My current incubator isn’t holding the humidity very well, and is constant fluctuating. Once my hens start to go broody, can I throw some coturnix eggs under her?

    Vomiting?

    When I picked up one of my Quails, he was “drooling” and making weird sounds. I help him angled down and he threw up some water. There was no way he could have drowned, and the rest of his body wasn’t wet. Could he maybe have just choked?

    Skin on neck and back ripped off! URGENT

    One of my female quail was severely beaten up by my other quail. I have no clue what to do. She is shaking, but I think the bleeding is pretty much stopped. It looks like she is missing hunks of skin on her neck. When I found her she was lethargic and her eyes droopy.
