Button Quail with long droppings hanging? Is this digestive issue or

[Stellar]

I would think a) it ate something or b) yolk dried up and is hanging...it falls off after a day or two

Worms?????

X2 I have no experience with quail yet but sounds like the roundworms I've seen in dogs.

If a baby quail had roundworms that badly I'd think it would be dead. Also, I don't think roundworms grow quite that fast. It would have had to hatch with them already inside it's gut.

SAME THING I WAS THINKING. MORE THAN LIKELY AN INGESTION ISSUE, THO THE AIR SAC VEINS (YOLK THING) ARE A LIKELY CULPRIT AS WELL

Well thank goodness. I didnt think it could be very healthy if such a tiny bird had worms like that.
