baby quail with stubby wing

[sugarsmom]

HELP...Hi all. I'm new here and at raising quail. We have 7 coturnix babies (2days old) and noticed one was having problems standing. We thought it was his foot. Today giving a little more observation and inspection have discovered the right wing is smaller than the other. He gets around great,eats and drinks fine. We are going to seperate it from the rest. I have a second brooder ready. The only problem he has is getting up when he is laying on its side, but now the little bugger has figured out to roll completly over to stand. Its a bit wobbly at first, but quickly gains its barrens (sp?). Was wondering , other than seperation, what else should we do?

Every once in a while I see a deformity. Those birds, if they can eat and drink without problem, get shipped off to freezer camp once they grow out. Honestly most times they don't have any problems. I have a 5 week old with a beak that doesn't line up top and bottom at all and is missing one eye. The ugly little thing has no idea there is anything wrong with it.
