Splay legs, curly feet, malformed quail or chicken feet. This has been a game changer for me. Build an easy cardboard maize. Put newborn button quail or Coturnix or chickens with splay legs or curly feet into it.
They heal in a day or two. I used to think these were genetic or dietary deficiency. We now suspect it is slow hatching malforming legs and feet. They need to be upright and weight bearing. The curly feet and legs correct themselves in a day or two. Been hatching ducks, chickens, quail for about 10 years. This changed everything. Last hatch no losses due to legs or feet. No it is not diet alone if at all. Not even genetics in my opinion. It is hatching issues especially delay. Put starter crumble on floor plus cap with water or syringe feed water if needed.
