Hi,
Has anyone have any issues with Ulcerative Enteritis with Bobwhite quails?
I had one quail that died today and I noticed the breast bone sticking out like a sharp knife, with thin skin covering it, this must give clues as to why the quail died? I researched it and believe this may be the reason why.
Apparently bobwhite quail are the most susceptible to this highly contagious disease.
I think they said that moldy feed can cause this disease.
The way my quail pen is set up, I have to lay down sheets of plastic on the top of the pen to prevent rain from getting inside, I think this is the problem. Water still seems to steep inside the pen which I know can cause moldy feed.
Any ideas what I could do to keep the pen dry come rain or shine?
Thanks!!
