I am needing some advice. I keep my birds in larger aviaries on the ground. I just noticed today that in one pen I had birds (scaled quail) with swollen feet that looked like they had dry growths on them and a few of them with lesions by their eyes and on the bridge of their nose. I just looked in a different pen 20 feet away and I saw a different type of quail (bobwhite) with a small wart like lesion right above his eye.

My pens are clean, I dont over crowd, I feed them 30% protien feed and dewormed them a month in a half ago. I am at a complete loss.

I just went to tractor supply and bought some anti fungle spray to spray on their feet. I have added probiotic to their water, but I'm afraid I will lose my birds or will need to cull the sick ones to save the healthy ones.

Any thoughts or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my bobwhite male. He has a lesion above his eye, one inside his mouth and puffy feet.

Welcome to BYC. How are your quail doing?

Thanks! Those are not good. I did cull them to try and protect the rest of my flock. I have since cull 3 other birds. The rest of my flock (all in different pens, with 2 pens with issues) are doing good. Nothing that is spreading from pen to pen and both issues are different things. I still havent been able to figure it out. I have looked up everything I can think of and the symptoms dont match one thing. I have treated my pens with a dewormer in their water for two months in a row, so I dont think it is a parasite. More some kind of bacterial infection. Just weird.
