    Hen hasn't been eating

    One of my quails hasn't been eating for a few days, and now I realize she's a lot more passive than usual. I thought it was a temperature change because it got cooler for a few days and that's happened before, but it was so minor. She goes in the food bowl because it's habit and even gets...
