Crossing the Road
How lonely would a quail be if left inside in a cage by herself? I have the best little girl and she hurt her leg somehow and gets around fine out in general population …or so I thought. Tonight I checked on her a bit closer than usual and discovered her leg she doesn’t use had giant poop balls on every big toe I feel so awful I only just now noticed!! So I brought her inside and soaked the foot for over 45 mins and slowly chipped away at the balls. I ended up taking off two toe nails but she sat still the whole time while I chipped away and she got super wet. So now I’m waiting for her to dry enough she won’t die from the cold overnight and she’s just sitting with me. I am wondering if she’s better off inside where poop balls won’t get missed? She let me soak her, rip out her toe nails, blow dry her with my hair dryer, and barely made a peep about it. She is amazing! She also often will lay two eggs in a day. She’s just a chill little girl and I feel bad she has limitations that cause her unhappiness! I know many of you would just cull her and move on, but I just can’t do that. She’s just a really sweet soul…anyway, thoughts on how bad of an idea this would be?
