    Is this guy sick? What could it be???

    I’ll post this in the quail forum too. I have never seen this. This chick hatched unassisted but looked different from the beginning. He was very thin and walked very upright. A few days later, his left was protruding between his wing and body and he had a weird stance, putting the left...

    Hip injury in button quail chick?

    I hatched this chick from an egg I had shipped to me. It was an odd looking chick. Hatched on time, but very skinny looking, and walked with its body extremely upright. Something appears to have happened to him, as I found him with his down feathers under his left wing kinda matted and no...

    Toe taping… is this right?

    My shipping hatching eggs were severely shaken. Most didn’t develop very far. This guy did, but he was malpositioned and had curly toes. Is this the right position of the tape? When I take them off, will it take some time for him to relearn to walk, or if he’s not able to walk well, does it...

    How to help this button? Curled toes? Malpositioned.

    I had a group of 20 eggs shipped to me from eBay (supposedly laid by all white button pairs). They were packed well, and any cracks looked like they were maybe stepped on by the other birds. BUT—these eggs didn’t look right to me when I candled them…the ones I could see through. Lots of...

    Finding eggs from white button parents

    Does anyone know where to find eggs from white button parents, or white juveniles? I bought several online, but nothing has changed on day four (no veins, no air cells)…and there are multiple bubbles floating all around, so I fear they were shoe. Too badly. N

    Sticky discharge (?) from button quail hen? What is it?

    Speckles went through an egg-binding scare, but turns out her body was severely depleted of calcium and her body stopped laying. After a couple of weeks of supplements and high nutrient food, she began laying again, but per vet’s instructions, I’ve left her eggs with her and after she laid 6 or...

    Egg laying and severe calcium deficiency

    Hi, So at one point, I only had one egg laying hen, and she dutifully laid an egg every day. I would collect them when I cleaned the bedding (every other day) and store them for potential hatching or would crack them open and give her the shell to play with/eat. She was never broody, even when...

    Hen with necrotic and lost toe!!!

    When I first separated my hen, Speckles, with the male she got along with best, I had them in a 32” brooder with pee pads initially. They occasionally got mealworms, and suddenly, Leo, her mate, began pecking at her outermost toes. They were so swollen, she was walking funny, trying to keep...

    Button Quail hasn’t laid today after a couple of months of regular laying…? I’m worried!

    My favorite button and only hen, Speckles has been a regular egg layer since 6 weeks old or so. Every day at 3:30-4:30pm, her regular egg would be in the same spot. Today, I checked to remove it, because she never goes broody, and it wasn’t there. She’s been hiding under the shoebox, and...
