Advice for Two Old Quail Hens with Health Problems
I've got two old quails (both are no longer laying), Octopus and Tsapa, who have quite a few health problems and I was wondering wether anyone has advice for some of their issues.

They are three weeks old now! Any idea on colors yet? And if not how old do they have to be, I'm super curious what I have 🥰 This is my first hatch and I was not expecting anything other than a 'normal brown' from these eggs that I picked up at a reptile expo!
