Quail feeling under the weather!! :(

Is this okay? I can order this, it says for quail.

I have never seen this but did a quick search and it looks like still 16.50% which is still low, and a high fat 4.50%. And the nutrition info is limited, from what I seen it wouldn't be a feed I would use.

I looked that one up, and it only has about 16.5% protein as well. Since you're in the UK, you might find some good feed sources mentioned here.

@007Sean - Any idea what the spots in her mouth are?

That feed is not sufficient for quail. It's only 16% protein and made for chickens. Can you get a turkey feed for her?

Looks like canker, to me!

What is the cause of this? And how to prevent and help her get better? Thanks

I have this. Can this be used for canker treatment?

That's for coccidiosis.

This is what I found for canker.

It looks like it would work. Remember not to eat any of her eggs for six to eight weeks (I think...) after medicating her.

Brilliant, Thanks. Will order right now, and administrate tomorrow. Can i also just ask, should i give it to her and keep her separate, or give it to all 3 girls? (The other 2 have 0 symptoms and no cankers.)
How could she have got this because I read online its very common in pigeons and doves and that is she were to share water with a wild bird she can pick it up from there. However she has not done anything like that (plus she is indoors)
