One of my hens is being weird. Crawling around half with her butt scooting and with her wings pulling her? Her feet look fine except a TINY scratch on her ankle area. Her legs have full range when I gently move them and so do her wings. She's standing one legged balancing act on the leg without the scratch. She's just acting like her leg is chopped off

Can you take a short video of her?

I got the new brooder jury rigged. I took an old plastic bin and cut a hole in the lid and duct taped hardware cloth over it. I tried staples, but they wouldn't go through the plastic. It's about 2.5 times the size of the 20 gallon aquarium I was using as a brooder for the smaller batches of chicks.

Not any time soon. I'm sick. Can't exhale without coughing for seemingly ever. And the quail freaks out whenever we're near. She's in the house with food and water. I'm going to try to look her over again and put stuff on her scratch.

I bought some from Wynola Ranch. They're size 4 and will work on adult quail. I found some smaller rings that I was able to use on two week old chicks, but I just had to remove the one I used now that my birds are closer to 4 or 5 weeks old because it was getting tight.

I think I'm gonna get some from WynolaRanch. I didn't know if numbered pigeon ones would fit, thought someone on here may've used some on their quail.

Good plan!
