Hello.

[ele4]

Hello I am from Illinois and a newbie to this site and to our 7 six week old coturnix quail. One isn't doing very well and am desperatly trying to learn what to do to help him. There seems to be a lot of very knowledgable people on this site, so I figured I would try my luck posting on this forum.

One was laying on its side with what looks like a broken or a completely twisted neck. It is so bad that he can't even stand up. I am not sure what do for him. He was always way smaller than the rest.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Ele

Hi and

I hope you get answers to your questions and your quail will be okay.
(personally I know nothing about quail but I agree there are many knowledgeable people here!)

Thanks so much for your suggestions and links! Hate to see the poor thing suffer.
