Hi all, looking for some possible experience regarding a quail with these symptoms. My eldest chick Chip suddenly lost all sense of balance this evening, an hour before I noticed this he was runnng around with all the other chicks fighting over some chopped up pieces of worm. As I put them to...

My 6ish month old layer Diana (she's laid maybe 3-4 eggs total, stopped the day after she lost the ability to stand/hobble) started limping about two weeks ago. We noticed one of her toes was curled out and backwards, and she was hobbling to avoid putting pressure on it. We tried to split the...
