Foot problem

[Mortega_]

Hello everyone. I’m still pretty new to hatching quail I’ve done it twice now and I’m familiar with spraddle leg and how to help treat it but one of my quails is doing somthing I’ve never seen. They hatched about a week ago and is so good at walking this way I didn’t even notice. Basically she has her foot backwards and walks on the wrong part of it. I’ve posted pictures to help show what I mean and I’m wondering if anyone knows how to treat this. I’d really appreciate any help thank you!

Depending on how long it's been like this, you might be able to fix it with a tape shoe. Basically, use painters tape or a bandaid (something that's intended to come off) to tape the foot in the correct position. The earlier this is done, the better the chance of recovery.

If it's going to get better, you will see improvement within 24 hours.

Did this work? I have one that just hatched with curled toes.
