My 4 month old quail are getting poop stuck on their feet, like dried clumps on their toes.
Around two or three of my hens have these balls on their feet which we tried dipping their feet in warm water and it wouldn't come off.
They hated it anyway...
We ended up with two pulled nails on two hens but we managed to stop the bleeding.
Any ways on how to calm them down and get rid of the poop? they're used to being handled, but they don't like getting their feet stroked to remove the poop...
Thanks.
