Thanks it was hard but I know he didn’t deserve to slowly die of exhaustion

He grew more and more tired and was able to stand less and less. Three days of taping his toes did nothing to improve him. A day of leaving the tape off also did nothing positive for him. We ended up culling him yesterday:(

Okay thank you! His legs aren’t splayed so that won’t help. I think I have to call it. He’s miserable and it’s not fair to make him struggle while I try to help him :( thank you for all your responses

What is that? I’d love to try anything that could help

He wants to walk around so bad but he can’t keep himself up. He’s been struggling for almost three days now and he’s worn himself out. He’s starting to give up I think :( I might have to cull him to keep from prolonging his suffering which breaks my heart because he’s been trying so hard

I figured it would be in this case but I wanted to give him a chance.

Thats what I thought :( dang it I wanted to help him

I have this sweet little late hatcher that hatched last of all 42 of my chicks. He took forever to hatch and when he finally did his toes were curled up bad. Two hours later the still hadn’t improved so I made him some little masking tape shoes and carefully arranged his toes and trimmed of the...

I know I just wanted to see if anyone had guesses for the strawberry blonde chick or had seen any like it before

Hey all I just hatched 41 little coturnix quail from Meyer Hatchery’s “Rare Assorted Coturnix Quail” eggs and I got two chicks that are almost strawberry blonde color and I was curious if anyone else could tell me what these are likely to be? We got a ton of colors in our 41 hatchlings and an...

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to and I didn’t want to risk causing harm

Hey all I have 12 of what I’m 99% sure are all pharaoh coturnix quail. They’re 3 weeks old and I’m struggling to feather sex them! Can anyone help me? I’m pretty confident about some of them but completely unsure on others. I’m pretty sure 1 is male, 2,8,9,10,11 I’m pretty sure are female. I’m...

Hey all I’m on day 19 of hatching my second batch of coturnix and I have one little guy that has almost fully hatched but has been sat like this for almost three hours. He’s trying to push out but just can’t seem to get that final push out done. Would you leave him be or help him get the shell...

76 degrees in the day hours up to 80 and down between 74 and 71 degrees at night

Thank you! My research said to lower the temp by 5 degrees each week so that’s what I’ve been doing. I turned it off and they seem happy

No their brooder is in a separate room from the rest of the house but they only do it when they’re sleeping I’m not sure why and researching it hasn’t given me any answers

So should I adjust their heat down?

Hey all I have a possibly dumb question. My three week old quail recently started piling on top of each other. I know that if they do it under the heat source they’re too cold, and if they do it far from the heat source they’re too hot. The brooder temperature is at 82 degrees and the quail are...

Thanks! Yes I want to be able to hatch as needed so I want one pen with fertile eggs

I do want eggs mostly but I also want to be able to hatch more quail from my own eggs as needed so I want to keep that as an option thank you!
