    I am concerned about bumps these chicks have on their wings and a large lump they each have on the same sides of their neck/shoulder. One of them has a bottom that looks very red as well. I have only had them in my care for a couple of hours. I am unsure how sick they maybe or if I can nurse...

But she spread it to the other and I have two roosters in with them and they don’t have it so I’m not sure?? The roosters seem perfectly...

    Butchering a quail with a disease?

    I have a female Golden Manchurian Coturnix quail that is suffering. She keeps falling over and can't get to the feed or water. I see no bruising or swelling or any other sort of disease. Is it okay if I butcher it? I have to know very soon because today is the only day I can do it.

    We have a small backyard flock. Since we have dogs too, they don’t free range. They’re in a coop and decent sized run area. We’ve had them all since day old chicks, but several months ago we started losing chickens very slowly. The process goes like this, and we’ve tried so many things to figure...
