Need help with button quail chicks

[teacupbuttonquails]

Hi everyone!

Sadly I need help with my baby button quail chicks.

All of my yellow (white) chicks are slowly dying every day.

They keep tilting their heads back and toss around.

I have them in a brooding box bin with heat bulbs, waterers; feeder, and a non-slip mat.

I'm so heart broken. What do I do to stop this?

All my other colored chicks are just fine. It's just the yellow chicks. Is it just something to do with the white button quail?

Im not sure why that is happening maybe they are sick or have poor genetics?

That sounds like disease to me, but let me ask some questions.
What are you feeding them?
How old are they?
What is the temperature in their brooder?
Do they have a warm end and a cool end?
How closely related were their parents?
What does their poop look like?
Pictures?

These symptoms sound like wry neck what are you feeding them?

Wry neck usually doesn't kill them, though.

Wry neck usually doesn't kill them, though.

It can if nothing is done about it. And sometimes it can prevent them from eating and drinking properly. It depends on how bad it is.

Depends on how deficient they are on vitamins/nutrients.

If you could answer @Nabiki questions would really help.

Wrong.... I've had plenty of birds with wry neck that had no treatment and lived for many years....some quite severe wry neck.
