We have had two quails die within the last 4 weeks. The first one no one witnessed, we came home and it was warm and probably died 20-30 minutes earlier. No injuries, just on the floor dead. After checking if it was egg bound, green liquid poop was coming out of her. Just a few minutes ago i...

I have found that putting her back in the pen with the others, she instantly tries to find a way out and basically incites the others to go rowdy, one of them even trying to attack her. So it looks like i'm going to have to split the flock. I will probably take out all the ones with forehead...
