[quail31]

I recently hatched some quail chicks and i noticed that 2 of them have feet that bend over their toes are curled up

this is a real problem because they are struggling to eat and drink !!

tried something

dunno how well it will work but its either they recover or i loose them trying

better than loosing them and not trying i guess

i used surgical tape to make shoes and used brown surgical tape on bottom to give them traction to walk







donald duck eat your heart out LOL

Habibs, that is the most fantastic job of taping the toes I have ever seen. Really don't know how you were able to do such a great job with this, as my one an only attempt at this proved too difficult for me. Hope this works for you, and please keep us updated on the progress of these two little ones.
