Ah okay, thanks so much for the info

I am going through this right now… did you ever introduce him back into the covey? If so, how did you do it? I have 8 hens and 2 roos and it seems like a bunch of them are after my poor guy :-(

thanks for the tip! They died of wry neck which is what made me think it was humidity… but good to know it might not have been that

Hi all! Just wanted to jump back in this thread to say I now know what was happening to my poor chicks. When I was incubating the eggs, my humidity was too high!!! I didn’t realize how many complications this could cause for the chicks; even after all the research I did prior to hatching eggs, I...

Wow, thank you for this reply, this is great information.

Will do, really appreciate it.

Based on info I’ve read here I believe the first died...

Thank you for your help!! If it survives I will post again here with an update.

From a homestead in Ohio. They’re NPIP certified if that makes any difference?

I appreciate your reply!!! Here is a photo of the eyes. They don’t look red or particularly bulgy. Thank you so much for your recommendation of the nutri-drench! I will definitely try that.

Hi everyone, I’m very new to keeping quail, so I would appreciate some advice on this. I have nine chicks that are three days old, and one of them doesn’t seem to be doing as well as the rest. She is the only all-yellow one (they are all coturnix but I’m not exactly sure what types) and hatched...
