on exactly may 1st Murray McMurray delivered 25 California quail eggs to my house. All the eggs looked fine with no visible cracks I put them in my incubator set the temp and proper humidity. I am very new to this so I definitely did something wrong. 4 days ago day 23 of the hatch 4 hatched
Day 24 2 more hatched it is now day 28 and I figured it was time to open up the other eggs and see if I could find anything I candled them all regularly and threw out all the undeveloped eggs earlier. I was left with 9 unhatched eggs that looked developed. First one I opened was a partially developed embryo. The second one I opens still had an alive chick inside fully developed but did not absorb the yoke or blood in the membrane and it unfortunately died I haven’t touched any of the other ones because I don’t know what to do is there anyway to save them if there are more alive in there? I just put them back in the incubator and moved the remaining chicks to a brooder. Also 2 of the quails have problems one can’t stand up which I assume Is spyled leg and I can’t figure out how to help it nothing I’ve tried on YouTube has helped besides putting it in a shot glass to help it slowly gain strength in its legs cause it can’t tip over. The other one has curled toes which I wrapped in some medical tape to straight them but it can’t stand I think it must have also gotten a splayed leg as well cause it just kicks to the sides. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
