Sounds like your other birds were carrying something that poor Brownie hadn't built up immunities to.

Ugh I feel so bad now.For future purposes what should I do to get quail use to each other?

I'm sorry you lost her.

I would be careful not to put the new babies near the ones you just brought home. Take care of your babies first, then take care of the others. This is just in case they have some sort of illness. It may take a while for something to show up.

It can take several weeks for some bird diseases to become obvious in a quarantined flock. There is still no guarantee that they don't have something that yours might have.

We'll have to wait for JJ or someone with more quail experience to weigh in here on lengths of time & proper procedures for you.

Ok thanks,dont worry about the babies there upstairs in my room and the adult quail are in the basement.I try handling the adults as little as possible and always wash my hands after.

The same thing happend to one of my hens when I put in some from a different bloodline. They had been at my house since chicks, but when I put them in one of my hens died. She acted like her neck was broke, but it wasn't. I wonder what is doing this.
