2 weeks old and still can’t walk properly 😩 we have them on vitamins. Enough protein with game bird crumble and meat and bone mix. We had nothing but trouble with this lot and won’t get eggs from this woman again.
It had splayed legs and we did the shot glass method which helped improve to not splay legs but it’s still walking on its legs like this instead of feet. We had others with things I can only put down to genetics and poor breeding. Out of 17 only 7 have survived hatching from 20 eggs.
Is there anything else we can do for this poor wee guy?
 
If it's not better at two weeks, it's not going to get better.

I would stop adding all of the extras to the food. A proper game bird crumble will have the nutrition they need in the right quantities. Adding other things will throw of the nutritional balance.

Thank you I suspected that after two weeks it may not improve. The mix is a game bird grumble that suggests adding the meat and bone mix for quail chicks for protein but will stop the vitamins.
