    Crooked Neck in Quail Chick

    Hi all, whilst I was at work yesterday one of my quail chicks somehow injured their neck and I came home to find it at an angle to the side. It doesn’t seem to hurt them too much as they still forage and drink, and I can rotate their head gently between my fingers without noticeable distress...

    Foul Smell?

    Just wondering as a first time quail owner what’s the norm regarding quail smell? I know it’s important to clean frequently because they are known to smell, but I somewhat assumed it’d be from the faecal matter build up, like in chickens and ducks.
