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.

Dnag, 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...

Thank you. I just checked on it and it's walking better and not stuck on its back... Here's hoping :fl
