How long can they take to hatch? I'm not putting any eggs in the incubator anytime soon so I'll just let it run.

No, I don't think so. Should I try the float test? How long can they take to hatch?

Yay! No more crooked toes. The crooked neck has not gone away though. I think I'm going to keep it. It walks, eats, and drinks albeit not as well as the others. I'll probably cull it at maturity because I find the idea of killing a chick very difficult . . . I actually have 3 more eggs in...

From what I've read it usually treated by giving the chick vitamins. If the wry neck was caused by being stuck in the shell too long, would this even help?

Is there any way to help it? Can its crooked neck be reversed like toes? It can stand, walk around, and even eat some.

It can't move its head or neck like any of the other chicks. It looks like this pretty much all the time: However, it can move its neck back the other way but it struggles.

Oh dear, it looks like the one I left in the incubator has wry neck . . . It doesn't look like it's going away as fast as the others did.

Dang . . . I kept my humidity at 50-60% even before lockdown. There's so many different numbers for humidity during incubation. Have there been any studies done on this? The chick that I moved to the brooder actually had wry neck when I first helped it hatch but that went away almost as soon...

Also, I've lined the hatching area in the incubator with bumpy shelf liner and the one that is still in it isn't walking right either.

I have my brooder lined with paper towels. Will this work too? If I still have to correct, what would I do? it seems like they're just too small for little "booties.

Both hatched this morning.

72% is too high? I had 14 other chicks hatch out perfectly fine. I think the problem might've been that they were the last to hatch. I saw both of the curled toed chicks start unzipping last night. They finally hatched out this morning after I decided to help them. They had both unzipped...

Make that two chicks with curled toes now . . .

I have a quail chick with curled toes. I corrected the toes with tape "booties" but now the chick doesn't really walk. Also, when he does his legs splay outwards. Will the tape do more harm than good and potentially lead to spraddle leg? Is there something else I can do to help it?
