I am thinking it may have been a genetic issue. Since we bred our own birds that all came from the same buyer, there is potential that the eggs came from the same birds. So I am looking to adding new blood in the flock....Myshire seems to have a great reputation....
Nor is owning chickens. I do find loosing a chicken a LOT harder though. All in all, quail are JUST quail. I would be sad if my favorite quails die, but I am equally thankful for the opportunities I have. Its not something everyone can have, to see life and death. Its never easy! But its never...
Sadly, he/she died... 😞 When I saw it, it was really warm and was on its back...not sure what happened, but I am guessing it got too warm and couldnt get back up.... 😭☹️😢
okay. I took away the waterer for everyone because I am worried he may drown in it. I will dip their beaks every hour/whenever I think about it. So the feet issue is fixed after about 8 hours? What happens if he gets stuck upside down during the night? should I put him in a cup?
He seems to have absorbed some yolk, OR it dried. I put him in the brooder with the others already. He is walking and chirping still, but it has not been 24 hours yet. He is also quite small... What are quail shoes?
Took a little quail about 21 hours to hatch. I did give it a coating of coconut oil on the membrane. When it hatched out on its own, it had a red sack attached to it. Not too sure what to do...anyone here know what this is?
