I just recently had two coturnix hens die of something that I can not figure out. The first bird went from being healthy one day to looking lethargic, having a swollen and squishy area around her vent, and she appeared to have lost a lot of weight. Thinking it might possibly be egg bound I gave her a warm 15 minute bath and kept her in her own cage with a towel covering it. She died the next day. About 5 days later a second bird showed the same symptoms and she died before I could do anything for her. The second bird died around 5 days ago and now I have male coturnix showing somewhat similar symptoms. Does anyone have any idea of what is going on with my birds and what I can do to help them.
