Green poops?

[FrankieAndJamie]

We're having some green diarrhea from our three week old quail this morning and I don't know why. Our quail's diet hasn't changed in the past week. What's causing this?

Keep an eye on the color and consistancy. Make sure they are not over heating or chilling. Either of these can cause diarrhea.

@TwoCrows what do you mean by "chilling"?

 

[TwoCrows]

If they get cold or over heated, they can get diarrhea. Make sure your temp is proper for their age.

I'm keeping the temperature between 80 and 85F, is that appropriate for three week old Gambels?

 

[TwoCrows]

That seems like a good temp for Gambels. If the green poop continues for the next few days, they may need some medications. Just keep an eye on them and hopefully it will pass.
