Hello,
I have a buddy who also breeds quail and he has one that is acting strange and he asked me to post this for him. I don't know what the problem is, but he has a 6 week old Jumbo Brown Coturnix that out of the blue is acting lethargic, walking around like it is drunk, and keeps falling over on its side and laying there for periods of time. He can't see anything physically wrong with it. He has separated it for observation but is unsure what to do, if anything. Has anyone seen this before? If so, what is it and can anything be done? Any information you can provide will be relayed back to him ASAP.
Thanks.
Here is a pic he just sent me of the bird:
