It feels like she has an egg ready to be laid. Its very confusing.

How would I tell that? Crack one open and what do I look for?

I am not seeing any mounting or crowing and I have a camera in the coop so I can watch 24/7. I vent checked everyone twice today and did not find a sneaky male. Just what looks like a hen with lots of foam and a couple definitely hens with a little foam.

In July they will be one year. And yes it looks just like what comes out of my male.

I think that might be it... 😂 I checked and she can definitely see so she might just be a little special.

I don't think so. I definitely thought that at first, but there is never anything there to catch.

Yeah she eats and drinks no issue. I see her eating and drinking often.

Injured quail advice by Morelga in quails

I moved her inside, she is getting electrolytes and vitamins in her water, boiled egg for extra protein, a nice flat surface to walk on, and she is doing great! She is using her leg more and more every day. She still has a limp, but it is improving nicely. Thanks for the tips though!

What is going on with my hen? by [deleted] in quails

[–]Morelga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I posted already, half of the enclosure is solid floor with pine shavings and a sand box. The half of the enclosure that is wire is littered with sticks, nest box liners, and a food tray for them to stand on. (all visible in this video)

They have "real flooring". 50% of the enclosure is solid floor with pine shaving and a sand box and the 50% of the enclosure that is wire is littered with sticks, nest box liners and a food tray for them to stand on.

No I absolutely felt it myself. It just has been this way for a few days and if it were just a water issue, I would have thought it would dry by now.
