I think it was either the feed or coryza. Whichever one could have been prevented...

It looked nothing like the pics of that other bird you showed me, it was perfectly healthy, acting normal and everything. It did not look sick at all, not saying that it wasnt, but if it was sick surely the other birds would have gotten it too by now?

Yeah, coryza spreads fast. I bet it was a feed issue or a common head cold. Buttons are a bit fragile when not feeling well. There are also those that die of heart attacks and strokes, not only diseases. I have had some that dropped over night too...possible egg bound...I did have a centipede incident but that is a REALLY out of an ordinary event. Could have been spider bites, mites...anything....MICROBES ARE EVERYWHERE.

I'm not really sure, but the others are fine

I am very thankful to have found this thread. I have a flock of chickens. We have placed an order for quail. They will be here in June. I had not planned on housing them together. I was planning to house them close by the coop though. Thanks to this thread (something I had not learned yet) i will house them on the opposite side of the property. I will also adopt the gamebird first mentality when taking care of my chores. i have a pair of chicken shoes that I use when doing chores in the coop. I will invest in a pair of quail shoes and make sure to not cross contaminate. Thank you for your very graphic ALL CAPS warning.

No doubt there are some very knowledgeable people here with lots of quail experience. I think people might be more receptive to advice if it was offered sans the attitude.

Unhelpful commentary removed--that didn't help the situation.
