➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[CoturnixComplex]

I think I'm joining the runt-culling party tomorrow, tiny crooked foot is not responding to treatment and large crooked foot is now showing signs of being in pain as he gets heavier and it rolls farther despite splinting. Too much work for birds destined for the table anyways.

I really need to finish building the cat-io so the kitties can at least....ahem...enjoy the little ones....outside .

Yeah, the book I have says the yolk should be gone by day ten, so I was thinking that if it is seven days old and the yolk is still there it would be pretty easy to say cause of death was failure to absorb yolk, but at day 4 it would be a little harder, unless the sac looked infected.

Yes I had some hatch almost a week after the first. (One incubator was slightly behind the other) So it’s hard to tell it’s exact hatch date.

Check out the pictures in that link, pretty obvious what killed it. I got a duckling one too, let me see if I can find it.

You are going to feed your cats your deformed quail?

I mean, I would if I had a place they wouldn't make a mess. I was going to eat it. Tis minorly crooked in one foot but healthy otherwise. But too teeny to process.

Thank you I will definitely look at it.

I’m curious also to see what happens with my next generations legs. Because these get splay leg so very easy. Even on pine shavings. Which is bizarre for me as I never seen it in ducks although I know it can happen.

I probably could have made it clearer I was going to humanely dispatch it first, not let kitties kill it

I suck at incubating, so take this with a grain of salt. When my humidity is too high I see a higher incidence of curled toes, splay legs, and yolk sac infections.

But wouldn't it be more fun for the kitties to catch it?
