    Cull or not?

    Thank you. It was not an easy decision to make but I felt like they were suffering.

    Cull or not?

    Just an update for you guys… the chick developed spraddle leg so we decided to cull. We also culled the other one who had crooked feet because he was also developing spraddle even though I’ve had them on paper towels. Only one other quail has crooked toes but he seems to be thriving.

    Crooked Toes on Button Quail

    I’m new to hatching, and I incubated 15 button quail eggs recently. 9 hatched, and out of those 9, 2 of them have crooked toes. I think my humidity was off during lockdown. How will this affect breeding? They are pets so I likely won’t breed but if I decide to, how likely is it that the babies...

    Cull or not?

    I’m new to hatching so is it possible it’s not genetic? If I keep him I won’t breed him, I have 8 other chicks from the hatch that I can breed.

    I posted a picture above. Both his feet are like this. Can he live a normal life with toes curled this bad? I plan on trying to fix them when he’s bigger if I can.

    Cull or not?

    I planned on culling him yesterday, but my husband said if he doesn’t die on his own and is acting fine that culling him is cruel.

    What if I don’t plan on breeding him? These are just pets.

    He gets around ok, isn’t crying, eating and drinking, and no one bothers him.
