I really was struggling coming up with a brooder layout that will use every bit of space I have in my tiny downstairs half bathroom. I have 9 chicks and I want them to be able to run about and play and for the brooder to grow in size with them. After thinking for a day I came up with this! It’s...

I lost a quail a few weeks ago, and my other one (I only had 2) is sick. She's lethargic, eyes closed, fluffed feathers, and mucus only poops that started today. I thought maybe she's depressed from losing her sister but the poops changed my mind. Does this sound like coccidiosis? Thanks in advance
