Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Yea, not a very nice way to say hello, huh?
That's what I said . I'm as fine as any other two hundred year old cheap bottle of wine

Pardon me if I'm interrupting...

I was just about to leave for church this night, when I noticed the bulb on the quail had blown. I reluctantly put the MHP in their brooder, which I had not done in the first place due to their fragility and stupidity, and planned to find a bulb and switch them back over ASAP.

I got home and went to check on them, and when I went to pick the pad up, I accidentally pinched the neck of a chick burrowed up against the side with the frame. It can't hold its head up right and keeps shaking its head...


Help??


After finding a 75w white light bulb to tide them over until tomorrow, I made the injured one a nest it can lean on to stay upright. The only reason I didn't just snap its neck is it could still stand and did not appear distressed.

Dang, that sucks... sounds like you've already done what you could... those are so small, not much you can do... could be a pinched nerve, might be more serious... check it in morn and if it's not better, I would say it most likely needs to be culled... sorry... hope it gets better though...

Not sure there's much you can do, maybe some loose vet wrap, like a neck brace, just not tight?

I'm sorry. It could happen to anyone. I've come close to sitting the Brinsea brooder plate on them several times.
