Thank you. My little guy was walking about and seeming not to be bothered at all by the wound on his leg. It is still puffy but as long as he is feeling well looks probably dont matter to him or the others. Once the babies make it past about 2 weeks they seem very hardy. Im relatively new to...

Well with help from another thread posting this picture I found a piece of my hair wrapped around his little leg. I removed the hair and applied more antibiotics and yesterday afternoon the wound was looking a lot better. At least I now know that this injury was not the result of the broken...

I wanted to share some pics I just took. The top one shows both quail. The one standing on the right had the broken leg and she is doing pretty well though she is very shy and prefers to stay away from the other older quail so she stays in the brooder with the babies a lot of the time. The...

Oh I did definitely for just a moment when I wrote. I discovered the little gal with the now healed broken leg and her leg looked fine. Then I found the one with the abscess and who looks to be a male. He is a little younger. His leg is looks better now with the antibiotic treatment I gave...

So this weird. My little broken leg quail is completely fine this morning. No absess only a slight limp. She irony her healed over night or the absess was on a different quail and I have no idea how that happened. The one who had the break still had a small bit of tape on her feathers so I...

Little girl is looking more like a boy. He seemed to be doing fine but is now limping and hesitates to walk at all. I examined the leg and it is really swollen where the break appeared to be and it seems like a blood filled bubble like a tire tube around the point has developed. I gave a...

Another update: She is walking using both legs equally. It's been less than two weeks and although a bit subdued she seems to be getting back to normal. I expect to start hearing cricket sounds from her again soon.

Update As I was writing the previous message she stood up. I took her to the brooder to view her movement. She uses both legs though limping. It has been only about a week of healing. I'm very pleased and pleasantly surprised.

She started trying to use her through the bandage. Took a closer look and the leg was out of it so I removed the tape from her body. I will check her out carefully but for now she is resting on my lap.

So far this tape job is holding her leg up against her body. She doesn't have to move much to locate food and water. She is eating well and the only possible annoyance is the others climbing on her and stepping on her as they move about. She wants to be with the group though. I'm thinking a...

She a coturnix so fairly small though my largest and oldest in the brooder. Ithoughshr was ready to integrate in the pen but was wrong. So yes I'm giving her vacuum in the crushed, shelled sunflower seed which she seems to enjoy and have made sure water is near her in the brooder. I will add...

She pulled te tape off over night so the new tape work goes under her wings but completely circling her body in an effort to keep her leg stable and up tucked under her body. I'm so sad this happened to her. I hope the joint heals.

I taped it to try to stabilize it but is there anything else I can do for her? She cant use it and when I hold her up it dangles loosely unlike the other leg which is fine and is held stiffly. She was jumped on too vigorously by a male. She was not ready for that. I tried introducing her to...
