Ive had 2 splayed leg quail so far. Each of them their legs were doing a split and they never could stand up, just pushed themselves around. When I stood them up they would just do a split.
That "might" be splayed leg or he may just be exhausted.... mine were very energetic. They pushed themselves everywhere but couldn't stand up.
If it is just taped his legs together, evenly spaced. One was good in 6 hours the other in 12.
