Hi guys!
I’ve had quail for almost a year. We have 2 roosters and we did have 11 hens, but now we have 9. They are differing ages, the oldest ones being 1.1 years old and the others being between 2.5-5.5 months old.
The two youngest girls both have died seemingly with no warning. They were both only about 2.5 months old, had been laying eggs when we first got them but stopped when we moved them outside. Hadn’t started back up yet.
The one who died first died exactly a week ago. Maybe 2 weeks before she had seemed a little awkward and lethargic, but she had improved before dying.
The second one died today. Two or three weeks ago as well, we noticed she was having a hard time walking and was panting a lot. This only went on for like a day and then went away. They both died randomly without symptoms.
Checked them both over post death. Clear eyes, throats, noses, and vents.
A few days ago, the hen who died today pooped this strange orange poo. Some people said it was normal and could’ve been caused by stress as my roosters are starting to get their hormones again. But some suggested worms, cocci, even avian flu.
I’m attaching a photo of the poo. Can add pics of the quail themselves if requested. Any advice as to how they might’ve died is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
