Title: Two Year Old Quail Die -- They hold their heads down
Post by: amerville on June 07, 2012, 07:15:28 AM

I have about 30 quail and they are two years old.  Never had a problem until last week one was walking aroung holding its head down and sideways, next day dead.  Yesterday I found two more holding their heads down.  They are not dead yet but pretty weak looking.  Any ideas from anyone.  BTW, we did have a bad hail storm about three weeks ago and they stopped laying eggs after that untillast week.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
