What do cinnamon look like? I've never heard of that color

They are Dilute but not like Roux Dilute... more Tan.

Oh, thanks they look like an Italian with my German pastel's color

 

[Fenrisulfr]

In Germany they are called "Zimter" ... Cinnamons.

They can come in almost all known colors, here is my Golden-Cinnamon, Fish. She is basically Italien or Golden, just lighter?

Here she is as a chick, cinnamon have red eyes as chicks.

P.S.: Cinnamon-Wildpattern, to be exact

Oh no! You guys the youngest baby has an issue, I don't know if he injured himself or his bones just tightened up post hatch while he was sleeping in a wierd position or what, but I came home to realize the smallest baby was still stumbling a day post hatch and found his left foot is curled in and not at all flat! He can feel it and definitely didn't want me touching it but im worried he's gonna struggle eating and drinking and being in the Aviary once hes bigger if I leave it. Can I use the card board and tape method?or will that be painful if it's broken? I swear it was originally able to lay flat at least immediately post hatch so I assume it's broken, I just wanna make sure he doesn't die

What temperatures should my brooder be at at around 2 weeks? My chicks other than a few, seem to prefer further from the lamp rather than closer, but at few still sleep closer to the light

I just messed whith him again and it's definitely broken judging by behavior, unfortunately i also found out that I do not trust myself to hold onto a miniscule struggling quail chick while simultaneously pressing a broken foot into place and taping securely. Ended up taping it in its current shape to a piece of cardboard, but luckily that seemed to help tremendously whith just that. He's definitely in pain judging by his heavy quick breathing but is still eating and drinking. Don't want to try anything else and worsen the issue or cause more pain given its tiny heart. Could I possibly (as horrible as it will sound) rebreak or reshape his foot later on at like a week old or no? It think if I honestly tried now he'd go into shock and die, just putting the tape on his foot currently had him acting like he was gonna pass out so I don't think I can reset it whithout a large risk factor at the moment.

Probably wise to avoid pushing it into shock if possible. Not a vet, but I had a week old with a broken leg higher up and a week later I have no idea which one it even is. It resisted all attempts at taping etc, so I left it alone and it healed up fine! Hope yours does the same.

At least four or five pips on my 50 ssc/Tibetan tux order. Maybe chicks tomorrow! I think I want to try a dry hatch next after hearing about Kiki....humidity levels here are right around 30.

Well, I had to put down my wrynecked guy. Something happened and I think his leg got popped/yanked out of the socket while I was gone.
