Coturnix quail hatched with black patches on feet?

[Soltaria]

The little guy pricked a vein when he pipped and once he finally hatched his feet had black patches like little bruises on him. Has anyone seen this before? Google and search turned up nothing.

Anyone? He looks otherwise completely healthy and his feet seem to function just fine.

I know it's not unusual for Coturnix quail to have darker patches of color on the feet at hatching. If the chick is doing well now I wouldn't think there will be any trouble with it Congrats on your hatch

Thanks, these are my first quails and he was the only one like this. I was worried he had injured himself.
