    Sick Quail

    I just bought an entire quail set-up with 3 pens and ~40 birds. One has been acting sickly. It’s doing better now. I noticed it was lethargic last night. It’s a 4-week old coturnix quail. It was puffed up and was incredibly calm (didn’t try to escape me). I also noticed it was very skinny so...

    Lethargic ducks

    I have six runner ducks and five chickens. The chickens' routine fecal test came back positive for roundworms so I started deworming both flocks. They don't live together but they share a fence. I've seen no real symptoms other than decreased egg production in both. I'm day three into Aquasol...
