Unknown tiny black flies on my quails

HELP! Quails dying 4-6 weeks old ?
Thanks, good point, I'll double check for the plants. I selected them because they were recommended on a french book about quails. They recommended both the plants and the size of the holes of the aviary's wire. I doubt so about the chemicals but it is true my aviary is extremely close to my... -
HELP! Quails dying 4-6 weeks old ?
No, I double checked yesterday and today, there's no holes anywhere. The aviary has an underground structure all around. That quail is the one we call "the crazy one" as she always get scared when we enter the aviary. She tends to run into things. Do you think the eye is something else or linked... -
HELP! Quails dying 4-6 weeks old ?
Update on the quail : On thursday evening, the quail was pretty much dying, laying on her side and struggling to get up. I thought she wouldn't make it over night but gave her a bit of amoxicillin to give it a try as I am still suspecting they came with some sort of virus or bacteria. The day... -

HELP! Quails dying 4-6 weeks old ?
No, because it isn't premade, in France we can buy directly all the seeds we want, it's like a self service and you pay by weight. Maybe I'm missing something important? I felt like I made sure I had a bit of everything needed. What do you recommend adding to their diet? When I first got them... -
