Second try at hatching quails! (This time I'm sharing the whole experience with you!)

two quick updates: the injured male was getting picked on by the other male again, so i switched it with one of the two males i had removed. This one seems a bit more dominant so he was able to force everyone down the pecking order and bring peace to my aviary as well lol. I put the injured male in a hospital cage where i was able to cure his eyes, as well as a bumblefoot i noticed he developed.I found someone who is willing to buy him once he's back in track, so all in all a happy ending :). Also my dad while telling his friends about what i am doing managed to find someone who would like me to hatch around 20 quails/mo for him, that he'll use to train hunting dogs :eek:

Great! Set quail eggs for him. Make some money!
 
:( i need again a little medical advice. the one quail that i separated, has a weird case of what i believe to be bumblefoot? No black scab, just a super swollen foot, very hot and red. the lump seems to be getting bigger no matter what i try... he also has some tremors in that leg, very noticeable when i pick him up. He's not bothered in the slightest by it and crows, eats and drinks.i am not sure what to do, the lump is starting to travel up the leg from the foot. I read people do surgery for bumblefoot, but i am not quite sure if this is a case of bumblefoot as there are no signs of cuts or wounds to the foot, it's just red and swollen...
 
Can you get a picture?
