button quail

I noticed today that one of my females that has become one of my males favourite to mate with had a swollen looking head that seems to be pulling her eyelids up. I felt it and it is hard, not fluid filled like an abscess. Anyone know if she will be alright?

We recently hatched 4 Button Quail chicks out of 17. Terrible hatch rate, and one died this morning. Looking for more locally to expand our micro flock.

I've been looking into raising/breeding quail myself for agessss and me and my mom have 100% decided it'd be really fun and possibly even useful to do. We were thinking about having an outdoor aviary for Japanese quail for months now, but my mom is gonna have heart surgery soon and will be in...

So sometimes my button quail will randomly do like a dying squawk and then just flop onto the ground. Like full on head splat on the ground, body flat, like he died and just went "bleh". Idk how to explain it, but his head lays flat on the ground. Scares the hell out of me, but when I approach...
