Thank you. I did some research last night on sour crop and blockages. I'm still grinding up their food, but last time I didn't grind it up as fine so I thought maybe it was a blockage? Anyway, I took their food away last night and just gave them water with ACV in it and they were both back to...

This isn't normal, right? I just noticed that I have 2 like this. Please help. Sorry the second pic is little blurry.

I have a quick question! One of my chicks looks like its crop is filled with air. I picked it up and felt it and it's soft and squishy but definitely seems bigger than it should be. It's still wanting to eat and drink and acts normal. I've never dealt with this before. Any suggestions? I'll try...

I realize there are several posts about broody quail, but I do have some questions that I don't think have been asked before. Ok, I have a quail with eggs that are due to start hatching in the next day or two. We've been raising quail for a little over a year now, but this is the first time one...
