This is my first time having quail and one of my hens feels skinnier than before. She's been eating and drinking water, I've also just found an egg that is different from the ones she's been laying. Is there anything wrong with her? Help would be very appreciated
 
If she is eating and drinking I wouldn't worry too much. You could cook up something with protein like eggs for her to try and fatten her up. Sometimes quails like other birds lay eggs that are 'duds' once and a while. If it is not consistent, I am sure she's okay.
 
This is the first abnormal egg I've found. I dont even think there were any today. Just thought it was a little weird that she's so skinny all of a sudden
 
I would keep an eye on her. But if no weird eggs or habits appear then I wouldn't worry

She does not seem to be getting any better. She is lighter than air at this point, doesn't seem to have much energy as she doesn't run from me when I try to pick her up and doesn't run around with the others. She does move to a new spot every once in a while but mostly sits in one spot with her feathers ruffled. I am very worried about her
