Bought two guinea keets yesterday morning and put them in the quail pen because they could pass trough the big pen net holes. This technique worked fine with ducklings before, because the quail taught them were the feed was, how to work the water nipples and in a week they were ready for the big pen.
BUT, today by the morning one of the guineas were very debilitated I fed it by hand, but 10 minutes ago found it dead, the other one is very active and good looking so I risked put it in the pen anyway to prevent the same to happen.
As quail and guinea are both games I never though it would be a problem, is there any disease that quail carry and can produce this effects?
Just for the record, I never saw them eat, but I though it was because they were skittish since when I was looking they were in the corner.
