I hatched 15 quail on Sunday night and today they've started dropping like flies. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. This is the second time I've raised newly hatched coturnix. I never lost any the first time around. I lost 2 last night and 5 more this afternoon. They start shivering and wobbling and then look like they are sweating then fall over and die. The only thing i can even think that i've done differently is used the pellet bedding and I accidently put a little bit of chick starter in yesterday when I was feeding the chicks (forgot who I was feeding). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I feel terrible! I have 4 more that are wobbling right now. And that will leave me just a couple.
