I am not having a good time with my quail lately
Last night culled one with a broken back -- now I go to do morning chores and notice my favorite and only A & M roo has blood all over his face and breast area
so I take him to kitchen and give him a bath to clean him up and notice he has managed to break the tip of his top beak off but it is not a straight break and is bleeding alot - the break is close to his nose so I am sure he is getting blood in his nose
he is breathing through his mouth and breathing alittle faster than normal
I have him in a smaller pen that is pretty dark - I am hopeing this will keep him calm so he can rest
I dont want to handle him much because everytime he moves his head his beak bleeds more
I cheacked his ladies and they are fine no blood on them - so I am guessing he got the tip caught in the cage ( there are in a 24x24 wire cage ) he might have gotten it caught somewhere ??
is there anything I can do for him ?
I dont want to lose my very first A & M I ever hatched and my favorite little roo
he has a black heart shaped spot on his head and is so sweet
