Need help!

Yeah I took them outside to get fresh air while I aired out the house and my room. It was warm today so I kept them in the sun and monitored them while there were outside. They seem okay. They are running around and eating.

That's good. Hopefully they'll all be ok. If they weren't exposed for too long and since they seem fine now, I'd say their chances are good.

No it doesn’t move at all but this is from my own pigeons. One that was abandoned. And your not going to believe what happened...... we had a bunch of ants in our house and my brother started spraying ant and roach killer all over the place and the door to my room was open and the fumes got into my room and killed on of my quails. He was gasping for air and I immediately took him out of my room and held him in my hand but he died about 2 minutes later while I was holding him. I’m soo freaking upset. It’s common sense not to spray that crap while there is chicks in the house l. Now I’m really really worried about my 3 remaining. If I was home I would have stopped him but I left for like 10 minutes and when I came back it was like my heart dropped in to my stomach when I smelled the fumes

I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking. Here's hoping the others will be OK. Birds have very sensitive lungs and some are more sensitive than others. I hope you're not beating yourself up. Even in spite of this, you're doing great and giving these fluffy little ones the best chance at thriving. I am so sorry for your loss.

The first one had a reaction to it in just under 6 minutes so I was thinking if the other ones had an issue, they would have already started showing signs of sickness. They are little animals, I don’t think it would take long for it to kill them if they were affected by those fumes

This is right now, they are walking around and eating and drinking.

Ok. Yeah, I don't think it would take long either. I had a scary incident when I first started keeping poultry, a heat lamp fell onto a towel in the brooder (make sure your lamps are always overly secured!) and caused the towel to start to burn. It caught on fire overnight. Thankfully, we smelled the smoke through a vent just 5 minutes or so after it fell, and we managed to save most everything. The whole plastic tote had mostly melted, and the towel was reduced to ashes. The 2, day old baby chicks were in the far corner of what remained of the tote, and were so scared. They were wheezing a bit. I moved them to a new brooder outside so they wouldn't smell the fumes, cleaned up, and stayed up with them overnight to watch them. They were totally fine.
I now am super cautious with heat lamps, and actually just switched over to heat plates and MHPs, but anyway, they were ok after inhaling the fumes.
Edited to add, my dog had bumped the lamp cord and loosened it, which is what caused the lamp to eventually fall. And this was 4 years ago.

Awww, such sweeties. They look totally fine right now!

 

[Aaron nassery]

that’s pretty crazy! Yeah I secured mine and tightened everything on it so it doesn’t do anything I wouldn’t want it to do. I can’t imagine what went through your head when you started smelling that smoke! That is absolutely terrifying

One is sleeping a lot more than he used to though so that’s making me a little nervous. But I’m hoping they will be okay. How often do they sleep? Do they sleep a lot at this age?

Yeah! It was scary. I don't even remember running down there, I was just suddenly there. I'm guessing I ran pretty quickly.
I shouted to my parents when I first smelled it and they were down there fast too. Luckily it was warm out so we could open all of the windows.
That's good you have it secured well.

Hm. How old is he now? Is he still eating/drinking/walking around?
