    Quail dying! Help!

    Thanks I will try to change the feed and see what happens. We finally got over the multiple dying a day. But still we have about one or two a week die so maybe the change in feed will work. Our pen is plenty high enough. It probably has 8 foot roof. We stand up comfortably in it.

    Quail dying! Help!

    This is what i read that i think is happening to my birds. his problems sound a lot like mine. " Could also be enteritis, otherwise known as quail disease. The puffed up look is a symptom of that. You can open up a dead bird and see the "ulcers" on the intestines. The birds carry this...
