Hey everyone. I'm back. I had to take DH to the dr this morning. He's had a man cold and it turned into a sinus infection. I thought the whining was bad with the cold

. Anyway, I have 9 quail out so far. The one still had curled toes and two more have splayed legs. I've got them all doctored up with band aids lol. A couple of them appear weak. I dont if they were the first or last to hatch. I gave them all a sip of Poly Vi Sol straight from the dropper. I'm gonna watch them close.

I had done of the same issues with my quail hatch... Had a few with bad feet/legs. Oh and they smothered one which was sad!

I also did band aid and now they are big and healthy and beautiful. I'm sure you will have success with them Sonja!

well neeedless to say, they are not walking well so I keep taking them and dipping their beaks so they can get water. I have food scattered on the towels so they can get it. I've had to use this method on a parrot once. It worked really well then too.

I used to breed parrots until I get pregnant with my twins. I used their bedroom for the bird room and had to sell my breeders to make room for them. I do love tiels. I have 2 of them now and one Senegal parrot that I hand raised. But she is mean. She hates everyone but me

I loved it. I'd love to have a huge house full of critters, although my husband would kill me lol.
