Help?? Quail chick born with brain outside of head

[nuthatched]

Poor guy ended up dying at about 7:10 on today. Heartbreaking, considering how bonded he was with me

Sorry you lost him, if it happens again, you may have a genetic issue.

They aren’t my eggs, as they were shipped, so no more happening again like this.

Sorry for your loss. Good job keeping him comfortable and loved during his short life

Yes. I would often take him out to rest in my hand rather than the incubator because the others were stepping on him
