I know nothing about quail! The guy I bought my ducklings from slipped them into the box, he thought he was being generous to my daughter who said she liked them!
Now I have this tiny little quail. My sister was holding her today and she dropped her. She was sitting down when it happened so maybe 16" fall. She seemed fine, but now she has blood that seems to be coming out of some (4-5) of her pin feathers. Could that indicate more serious internal damage. She is housed with a coturnix quail and 3 ducklings. Could the ducklings be picking on her? They never do when I am watching. I was going to seperate them, but the quail cry when they are seperated. They follow the ducklings around like they are their mothers. They like to scrunch up next to the ducklings to sleep. (brooder between 90-98)
PLEASE let her be ok! I can't handle the thought of the birds dying due to human error.
