deformed quail?

[Therrm]

Its my first time hatching quail and i have two little ones that look like something is wrong. The left side of their feathers are more developed and their head is cocked to the right. They can straighten it out but the natural, relaxed position is to the side. They also seem to have trouble walking around and go in circles a lot.

I dont know if this is genetic or if i did something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Im not sure if I can help them or just cull them. Below is a picture of one of them.

If theyre circling they either hit their head or got nerve damage some other way (lack of water, encephalitis, etc). They kind of look like they have wry neck but wry neck doesnt usually make them circle.

Maybe give electrolytes a shot. I use the sav a chick suppliment with injured birds. Really helps

Like pedialite? Or is there something specially formulated for poultry?

Pedialite is a good start but they do make bird specific electrolyte/vitamin supplements. Sav-A-Chick like Rashid mentioned or VitaSol. VitaSol is carried by most major pet stores and comes in liquid form. Sav-A-Chick will usually be sold at feed stores or private pet stores, it comes in powder form.
