Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[teradragon]

eggies chickies birdies!

So one of my quail has poop shoes... balls of poo stuck to the ends of the toes... I tried getting her to stand in some warm water... no difference. Tried warm soapy water... still no difference. It's really stuck!

Any suggestions? Oil perhaps?

I would try vinegar. And if plain vinegar doesn't work, sprinkle with baking soda and apply vinegar. Itss how i get tough rabbit poop off stuff it's stuck to. Be warned it as going to fizz but does not hurt or burn unless there is an open wound, if there's an open wound you will be able to tell from the plain vinegar soak. If she handles the plain vinegar well, the baking soda and vinegar won't hurt her.

you gotta get the rock out??

The vinegar and baking soda was for the quail wearing poop shoes. I tried to get the stone out. Nothing came of it, but she did take two huge poops so I'm hoping it wasn't really a stone at all and she just needed a little bit of lubrication to break up a hard mass. Please pray for my Cheeky. She's my favorite one!

Why are they eating the dust from the wood shavings? Their food is right there and they are scratching to the bottom of the broader to eat the dust!

No, granny. No top-hatters. Those come in a few days. Turns out my mom is getting chick crazy. She ordered an assortment of expensive breeds. More "leftovers", lol. One of the babies is a polish, though. A cute little buff laced. All hens. Now I wish we had a male polish!
