    Puffed hen but no other signs…

    You’re right. She passed yesterday unfortunately. Couldn’t keep herself warm anymore. She died peacefully, that’s what matters

    Puffed hen but no other signs…

    She is 4 years old, almost 5. I did write that I put a heating lamp in her enclosure. She loves it. :-)

    Puffed hen but no other signs…

    Hello everyone, My lady king quail (the orange one in the pictures) has been puffed up for the past few months, but not showing any other signs. For context, she is an older hen. She stopped laying a few months ago and has been puffed up 24/7. Besides the puffing she is still eating...

    I also just noticed the droppings of the hen. Diarrhea with a foul smell. This is not normal... Poor hen She is luckily not puffed up, that surprises me.

    Quail breathing and swallowing problems? Photos & Videos included!

    Hello folks, A few days ago I bought two young coturnix quail hens. One of which is healthy the other not. I asked the breeder if they have any known viruses, to which he said no. I am guessing respiratory infections... But I want to ask you to decide with me whether this assumption is...

    Quail acting drunk and loss of balance

    My king quail hen had this. She fell over and walked like she was drunk, turns out she was laying a shell-less egg. She even fainted... Unfortunately there are no avian veterinarians in my area, so it is fully my responsibility to take care of them best I can. So I increased the magnesium and...

    What age are my quails? (+taming them, incubator)

    I don't think that they're males, since I have seen some male quails in the pet store and they call very different than my quail. I have even searched the difference between male and female noises online. My quails sound like this: They usually call like that if they're separated. I also have...

    Weird bump on my quail's toe

    A beginner quail-keeper here... I have just noticed a weird bump on my female button quail's toe. She is walking fine, but I know that they're prey animals, therefore good at hiding weaknesses. It is a bit swollen and she keeps her toe slightly titled compared to the other toes. I have no idea...

    What age are my quails? (+taming them, incubator)

    Hi thank you for your message. This helps a lot. I tried taking some pictures, but I failed unfortunately. They don't like to lay on their backs for long and I felt like I was causing a bit of stress so I let them rest. Also, their feathers have fully grown back, although it looks like they have...
