How to splinter

[cherrynberry]

We got 2 quail who are limping due to an attack. Is there anything I can do to help them?

Edit: It was indeed a squirrel

What's the question?
Are you trying to figure out how to keep your door closed?

No, how to splinter a chicks foot and what the predator might be, one that kills but doesn’t eat it’s prey. Also do squirrels kill quail?

Pics of the broken feet will help to get advice on size and materials to use for splints.

What does splinter mean?


Any one of the animals in your area is capable of killing a quail. It's a wild guess.

But won’t snakes just swallow them? Why would they leave them behind?

Nobody here is going to be able to tell you what killed your quail.

Can you set up a camera?
