Moving Quail with eggs
This quail has laid eggs before they hatched in the aviary and chicks were killed by other quails. I tried moving one of my other quails who laid eggs a couple weeks ago but she had a heart attack and died while being moved. How do I move a quail with her eggs into a separate cage safely?- masterspoon13
