I have a two day old quail that struggles to stand. I am keeping them in a small container in the incubator and get them out to feed and try working on standing. I don't know if there's anything else I could do to help them walk. I am also worried that they are not getting enough food. I get them out and give them a mix of quail yolk with water that has the probiotic electrolyte mix but they eat so little of it. I always offer them a little ground crumbles but they haven't eaten any yet.

Any curled toes? What type of feed? 2 day olds do not eat much in general.
 
Pictures? What kind of quail? What are you feeding them? What temperature are they at? Do they have a warm and cool end in their brooder?

No curled toes. I'm trying to upload a little clip but it's not allowing me. It hasn't eaten any of the food but it's a gamebird starter that I grind for when they are small.

I am working on getting a link. They are mixed Coturnix quail. The healthy ones are in a brooder with warm and cool ends and eating a gamebird starter. This baby I have separated out.
 
That looks like something neurological. You might need to cull it, but I'd try some Nutri-Drench or Save-a-Chick first.
