Baby Quail Sneezing?

[Selene uwu]

I have been hearing off-putting sound coming from one of my quails, it sounds like a rubber duck and they look like they are sneezing. Is it sick? I can't tell if it's breathing heavily... Has anyone else experienced this?

What kind of bedding are you using? Do their feces look normal? Quail aren't prone to Coccidiosis, so that's not likely. Most likely a respiratory infection, possibly Aspergillosis. Its caused by dusty, contaminated incubators or brooders with the spores of the fungus. There is no treatment. The best way to prevent it is to adhere to strict sanitation methods.

It is only one of them, his nostrils are slightly red and its just sneezing, no other quails have been sneezing like him. I will try to sanitize the area and keep more water dishes out
