    Quail ear canal is impacted with dry wax

    One ear canal on my Coturnix hen is impacted with wax. Her eyes are watery and she nods off a lot, but otherwise will eat and drink. Is it safe to irrigate her ear canal? What's the best way to clean it?

    6 day old quail chick weak and not eating/drinking

    Hi bird experts! I hatched a mix of quails 6 days ago and most have done pretty well. One however isn't growing and is weak and wobbly and won't eat or drink. It seems like she's getting bullied by the others too. I set up the incubator as a little sick bay set at 95 degrees and have put her...

    Prolapsed vent

    Seeking help with one of my quail! The past few days I have noticed sometimes it will start excessively chirping and then spits up clear liquid. Then it goes back to normal, more or less.
