Photos included of my drop tray. Not sure what to make of the squiggly poos, especially one very yellow one. They're highly gelatinous, for what that's worth. I'm hoping some of you can help diagnose.
I have 6 young and 1 one year-old coturnix hens, all of whom have been laying daily with the exception of the oldest bird who stopped laying one week ago but who otherwise seems healthy. All have good appetite and appearance. I've got a couple years of quail keeping experience under my belt and I've seen the ruffled feathers and lethargy, foamy diarrheas and things like that, but these squiggly droppings are strange. I can't be sure, but I suspect these weird poops are coming from the bird who has gone off laying.
This flock was all treated with Corid in two week-long treatments 2 weeks apart this May and June right after the young ones came to me from a breeder and that resolved the runny poos they had and soon they all started laying.
