6 days ago we awoke to 4 new japanese quail hatched to our avairy. 2 days later I entered avairy and 1 of the chick was crying and squirming with an arched back. It passed away soon after. Another was crying with its eyes closed. I tried to feed it water and food with a syringe but it died the next day. They had both seemed fine the day before. I'm watching my last 2 chicks carefully hoping they survive. My 2 gouldian finches are in they avairy too and they are behaving strangly. My husband suspected mite. I treated them tonight and am wondering if mites may have been what killed my chicks. This chick raising is stressful!
