Hi! Posting from Alberta Canada. I am new to raising quail & have some questions for which I can't seem to find answers. Hoping a like-minded community can help! I have 6 lovely little ladies who are about 4 months old. They lay beautiful eggs everyday. Recently the feathers on a couple of them look like the

bird on the right. They are ruffled. Am I doing something wrong? They are all quite happy, active & eat/drink/poop well. No bumble foot or poop crusted around the vent. Just ruffled feathers. I've checked for mites/lice & can't see any. Thanks in advance for sharing any advice!
