Hi Guys, just joined!
We just hatched about a dozen coturnix quails- the baby chicks are running all over the brooder, getting their feet wet and then stepping on the crushed up food so that one of them has built up crusts over his feet. I tried to dipping them in some water to see if i can soften them up but he's struggling too much and it does not seem to help. Is it okay to leave these crusts on? Will he pick it off by himself eventually?
Thanks in advance!
