I have an adult Quail that has been ailing for weeks. Started out puffed up. I noticed his wing&tail feathers were quite beat up. I isolated him from the other quail as they were picking on him. He was limping at that time. He has gotten progressively worse. Now cannot walk normally, scoots around if alarmed, lies on one side, tail and wing feathers are broken off, he eats if food is put near him. He is a 1 yr. old bird.
