HELP!! dopey quail chick??

[Oilytoe90]

Hi. Had 10 quail hatch yesterday early hours. All doing great, eating and drinking, running around and jumping about like popcorn . But there was 1 that pipped upside down and now it seems rather dopey (falling over lots mainly) but otherwise fine. Is it just clumsy or is there something wrong?

There may be something wrong. You'll know with time.

I agree with @Kiki . There is probably something wrong, but it will either get better or pass away.

Thanks guys. He actually seems ok now. Not falling around as much

It can take a couple hours for them to get their land legs, especially if they have a kink in their neck from a weird hatching position. If it continues to be an issue he might be a slight wryneck.

It ended up dying yesterday morning. But we have 9 healthy active babies
