What's not to love about quail? Small and perfectly formed, they are prolific egg layers and easy to keep. This great guide is full of advice, tips and essential information covering everything you need to know about quail. You will find information on feeding, health checks, seasonal care as well as fantastic facts about quail. For example did you know that the Egyptians were such admirers that they gave the quail it's own heiroglyphic?
Separate it from the flock, Gently try regular eye drops (Optrex or similar)being careful not to get it in its beak or nose.
Keep the bird away from any dust and spray the cage (WITHOUT THE BIRD IN IT) with a fly mite - spray.
Make sure fresh food and is water available and see what happens OR take it to a vet and have a few hundred dollars in your purse. Good Luck!
