Last 3 days in incubator for newbie

Quail update: we all made it through the night. One of my assisted is acting normal. It is smaller than the others but functioning normally. The other is getting around but is having a hard time walking. It's toes won't spread they are curled under.

Curled toes can be corrected by making a boot. The earlier the better the chances and faster it can be corrected. Take a look at chicken chicks blog. (It's after the spraddle leg stuff.) She shows some examples of how to make a boot for it. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it.html
 
Both my chicks survived. They have sprouted some impressive wing feathers and at least 1 has a pea comb. In love.
