Hello everyone, thank you for all the advice! The sweet red coturnix quail has been rehomed! We found a kind stranger in the next county over who took her in. She is living in a big beautiful yard with chickens and pigeons. All is well now. :)

BUMP, please help me, I need to find out what to do fast about my hen, I am worried about her since she still lays soft shelled eggs and even than not as often as she used to lay. I am pretty sure she is also still pooping that orange poop every now and than though I haven't seen any blood nor...
Its a solid orange color alongside some regular poop usually, every now and than it is all by itself, recently I fed the hens some peaches but it hasn't affected color at all, their poop looks more normal than ever at the moment.
