Thank you. It was not an easy decision to make but I felt like they were suffering.

Just an update for you guys… the chick developed spraddle leg so we decided to cull. We also culled the other one who had crooked feet because he was also developing spraddle even though I’ve had them on paper towels. Only one other quail has crooked toes but he seems to be thriving.

This is the incubator I have.

He’s just too small. We can’t hold him still enough without hurting him. It’s a button quail.

We tried SO hard to get tape on them but he’s too small.

I had two born with crooked toes on one foot and this guy has curled toes.

Hello! I just recently had my first hatch! The eggs are button quail (so tiny!) and I bought 15 eggs online from a reputable farm that wasn’t too too far away. They got here next day shipping and went right into the bator. I kept the humidity steady at 40-45% until lockdown on day 14, but had...

I’m new to hatching, and I incubated 15 button quail eggs recently. 9 hatched, and out of those 9, 2 of them have crooked toes. I think my humidity was off during lockdown. How will this affect breeding? They are pets so I likely won’t breed but if I decide to, how likely is it that the babies...

I’m new to hatching so is it possible it’s not genetic? If I keep him I won’t breed him, I have 8 other chicks from the hatch that I can breed.

I posted a picture above. Both his feet are like this. Can he live a normal life with toes curled this bad? I plan on trying to fix them when he’s bigger if I can.

I planned on culling him yesterday, but my husband said if he doesn’t die on his own and is acting fine that culling him is cruel.

What if I don’t plan on breeding him? These are just pets.

He gets around ok, isn’t crying, eating and drinking, and no one bothers him.

My husband and I tried multiple times to hold him and get tape on his feet but he’s just too small and I will post a photo first thing in the morning.

I have a button quail chick with curled toes. Taping them is impossible, he’s too small and I can’t hold him still enough without hurting him. He eats and drinks on his own. Currently giving him electrolytes and getting B2 tomorrow. He was last to hatch and needed help.

Hi guys! One of my chicks was born with just 2 barely curled toes. I didn’t notice until today (3 days old) because it hasn’t seemed to effect him at all and no one’s picking on him. He’s a button quail so I cannot correct his toes (they are too small, I’ve tried on another chick). My question...

I came out of WHAT hole?!?!

Thanks!!! Excited to be here!!!

Hi guys! Just joined, I have 2 ducks, one male one female. I have raised them from babies. My female just started laying and I have some eggs in the incubator. Having humidity issues! I can’t keep it high enough. Her eggs have been fertile (I opened 2 of them), and I have 7 in the incubator. One...
