sick quail

Hello! Looking out for my buddy of almost three years, our Coturnix quail has been breathing through his mouth all day. I don't think I've seen this before, but maybe I haven't looked closely enough? He has always been extremely calm little sleepy boy, so I don't think it's super weird, but he...

Hello, I have a female hen (about a year old) who I'm pretty sure has some type of internal parasites/worms and was hoping I could get some insight on others experience with using treatments like VetRx or Verm-x (or other recommendations you may have). About a month ago I noticed that she was...

The past day Ive noticed my female(almost 3 years old) quail throwing water/mucus? I’m only 16 so I am not able to take her to a vet, and it is hard finding one that treats quails where I live. She has other symptoms like being very lethargic, not moving, can’t walk very well and her feathers...

Last year I had a quail that got hurt. Another quail in my coop pecked around her eyes so bad she could see for a few weeks. We gave away the quail that hurt her and separated her from the flock until the scab went away and she could see. But lately I have been noticing that her feathers still...

Anyone have any ideas on how to get a sick quail to eat or drink? My last female is not moving much, not drinking or eating. She stays in the hut sleeping standing up. Iv tryed puting mealworms near her and water but no use.

I have a quail which I think has sour crop, all she had been doing for the past few days has been drinking water. I bought miconazole today but im completely confused with how much I should give her, anyone know? So far I have given her some apple cider vinegar in her water and had the quail...

I recently brought home a few quails ( a week ago) but now one of them has fallen sick. They were fed layer feed, so I continued feeding them that, and as for age, they were all a little less than a year old. 3 days ago I noticed one of the hens acting lethargic and drinking A LOT of water. I...

I have no idea what is going on with my quail but it’s getting to the point where I can’t control it. I have been under the assumption they have mites, I have taken a bunch of advice online to try but nothing is working. I don’t know what more to do for them. It’s only their eyes nothing else on...

Hello! My dear buddy Echo had a severe double eye infection and was put on antibiotics. The dose was injectables 4-6 times a day for a week in the pectoral muscle. He seemed to grow more and more sore with the injections, but his eyes and behavior did grow better... BUT. Now he can only hobble...

Hi Everyone, Brand new coturnix quail owner with a sick or injured quail. I have a flock of 10 at about 7 weeks old. This morning, all seemed well when I moved them from their coop to their aviary. When I came out to check on them, there was evidence of fighting because one of them, a...

While in the quail run, I noticed one of the female quails had dropped wings and was closing her eyes a lot and walking very slowly. I gently picked her up and she spat out/threw up water which I could assume at first she had a little hiccup with her crop. I also saw her poop but it was white...

6mo female Coturnix quail with swollen right side of face, top of head, and slightly around left eye for 3.5 days. No known trauma. Separated and under a heat lamp with food and electrolytes. Using VetRx some but it gets stressed when I mess with it to put it on (normal for my quail). Pooping...

Hello Everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I'm new to quail and birds in general, so I'm hoping to get a little bit of insight from others who may have faced a similar problem before. I have a 4 month old California Quail who was hatched in an incubator after the nest was abandoned (the...

My baby quail was tiny and weak the moment i got him. (bought him and his sister from wilco) i was scared he wasn’t going to make it but he got stronger day by day and started growing very slowly. he has always been smaller than his sister and has noticeably messier feathers than her. I believe...

So i have a quail that was bought off a farm a few days ago. And it was fine before but now it suddenly is laying and barely moving. I live in vegas and we kept them outside cause it was cooler lately with plenty of water and food. I brought it inside. Fed it water by hand with a needless...

Hello everybody, I recently got two quails from one of my friends around 6 days ago... One is very healthy and happy. The other one looks very frail, weak, and tiny... I'm new to quail-caring and don't know much about them. But I do think that something is off with Eggy (the sick one..) The...

I have some nearly 6 week old quail that I hatched in February, everything has been mostly okay except a very tiny FTT quail and now, a crying fluffed up and underweight quail, she keeps crying. I’m treating everyone with corid because that’s all I can think this is. But I’m wondering if anyone...

Hi! I’m brand new to quail keeping as I inherited a batch of 31 chicks from a friend who was victim to the recent fires on the coast of Central California. I’ve been having a great time with them but I’m not very learned on them yet. Today I sold and traded some birds, happily so as I ended up...

Noticed this male having trouble walking a few days ago. No neck problems, no signs of wry neck. Still quite active, will get around to eat and drink. Water is clean, food is clean. I have checked it's legs and feet, no signs of cuts or broken bones. No other quail in the pen has similar...
