I'll list all the symptoms here. her tail and wing are droopy, but not to the extent of dragging on the floor, more so like they're just a little puffed out instead of hugging close to her. in fact all of her feathers are more puffed...

    Quail stopped laying eggs

    One of my quails laid a thin shelled egg about 15 days ago and she hasn't laid since. The other one is screaming every time it lays an egg, and tonight the one who stopped laying screamed two times the same way but there is no egg. What should I do?

    Hen never laid an egg

    8 months ago I bought 10 production red chicks; 1 died the next day, I figured stress. At about 3 months of age, I saw a couple of my birds had 'moco' (mucous) (respiratory illness, no vet to diagnose what variety), and treated the flock with the antibiotics recommended by the feed store /...
