Dropped wing can be the result of an attack by mice and got hurt defending his ladys. Had this happen in the past. The nasty little sods. Quail cocks can be very pugnatious. :twisted: It may or may not come good. My boys never did, he eventually carried his war wounds to the grave. :D And it never did any harm, he just looked a bit odd.

He's fine now, my little cutie. wing is back to normal :D
The hen laid an egg the other day, and he's TRYING to be a dad already :lol: he goes over to the egg, rolls it under him with his beac, and attempts to sit on it. After about 5 seconds though, it rolls out to one side and he ends up lying on his back :lol:
