Thank you, can I give them grinded sunflower seeds with chick crumb till I get the proper feed? I live in Bloemfontein and didn’t find the right feed yet.
Can I give them sunflower seeds for protein. Here is a foto of the brooder, chicks and food. I removed the spinach. They are eating and drinking but they flop around. The youngest one, about 3 days can walk and run around.
Another one died tonight, they are all struggling to walk and they are about 5-7 days old, can it be the chick starter or the spinach that is not enough protein.
It is corurnix quail
It is a bird cage that I cleaned well and the sides are covered with box so that there is no wimd going through to chill them. I use a red heatlamp and they can move to hot or cold spaces when they want, Most of the time they are evenly spread or sleeps next to each other...

Good morning, I took the chick out of the egg this morning about 8:00 and is still alive and he can wobble walk and is peeping. He is strong for now and I hope he stays that way. Thank you for all your advice.
I removed the top of the egg where the air sac is. He is still just laying there and not attempting to get out. Should I continue removing the shell and should I remove the inner membrane as well.
I desperately need some advice. I incubated 6 Coturnix quail eggs. 5 hatched but the last one is alive but not hatching. It is day 22, and i Made a breathing hole. He is not yawning but he is breathing and was peeping when I whistled, but know he won’t peep. Is there a change that he will hatch...
Hi, I have a 2 day old quail. It looks like he has a mild spraddle leg. When he lays down his legs slides sideways but when he walks he pulls his leg back and then walks wobbly. Will it solve itself or what else can I do.
I don’t think I can send a video. Any advice would be appreciated.
