so my wife calls me while i'm at work to let me know my only male coturnix has died. i get home and check him out, looks as if he was pecked at (odd for being the only male in there) they have been on the same manna pro gbs 24% since i've had them, which is basically how long i've been a member. he was pecked at but there was no blood so i'm guessing they did it after he died, my only guess is that he got flustered, flew up and broke his neck, i buried him in the backyard as he was the only male, and my first, its very sad

anyone have any other ideas, i've already checked the coops for any enterances from the outside, all the 4 hens are perfectly fine with no issues

on a side note, i have been giving them one tablet of 500mg VIT C per 26oz water container(there is only one in the coop) mainly to deal with the heat and to help egg production, i'm just glad that i got 18 eggs incubating before he passed
 
I am so sorry about your male quail. I do not have an answer for you but wanted to say how sad I am for you.

yea, thanks all, i went to turn the eggs tonight before bedtime and thats the one thing that popped into my mind, he's got offspring.

i guess a quail is a quail, but its always something when its your first
