My quaker


My 3 1/2 year old female quaker is sitting on the bottom of her cage with her tail up. She was her normal self this morning. Now, she won’t come to me, or talk back to me. She is very quiet.


Answer:

Hi,

Has she ever laid eggs before? It sounds like she might be getting ready to lay an egg. But if you think she is sick, it is better to go ahead and take her to an avian vet. Even if she is trying to lay an egg, she could be having problems.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
