Baby Quail pecking the others feet!

[Malccc60]

Hello all! I recently just hatched some baby quail (2-3 days old) and I have one quail that will not stop picking at the others feet. It will Literally peck their feet and yank their legs out from under them. I don’t want this to get any worse, is there anything can I do about this? Any suggestions? As of now I have it separated from the rest, if this is a solution. How long do I keep it separated?

Thanks in advance!

Is it drawing blood?

Is it drawing blood?

No, not as of now. But I do see swelling on one of the chicks foot

I've had a few chicks like that. Separating it for a few hours usually fixed the problem.

Do you have food out? Enough space?

It is very common for them to do that for a few days....it will soon quit pecking at toes.

Yes way more than enough space for them, plenty of food, water and heat as well!

Are you still having this problem or has the quail grown out of it?
