Crooked Toes on Button Quail

[Missadiellis]

I’m new to hatching, and I incubated 15 button quail eggs recently. 9 hatched, and out of those 9, 2 of them have crooked toes. I think my humidity was off during lockdown. How will this affect breeding? They are pets so I likely won’t breed but if I decide to, how likely is it that the babies will have issues? I really don’t think it’s genetic, I think it was my fault while incubating. Both quail walk, eat, drink fine and no one picks on them. Also, will this negatively impact them as adults or will they be fine?

Added info: out of 15 eggs, 9 hatched, 4 were empty, and 2 developed but didn’t hatch.

I’m not sure if it will be an issue in their chicks if you breed them, but I do know curled toes like that won’t hurt them when they’re adults. As long as they can walk normally they’ll be fine. I had two chicks hatch with curled toes out of my last batch and they’ve done just great. Both their toes completely straightened on their own after a couple days

Those toes will probably straighten out within a day. If they don't, I wouldn't breed them just in case it's genetic rather than a humidity issue.
