Help with quail

[leslie0815]

My newly hatched quail are having trouble walking, very weak legged. Please help me I hatched these for my husband and really wanted them to do well. They are about 2 weeks old.....Any advice would be appreciated

What are U feeding them?? You can usually give them a little sugar water... and that will bring them around... I use about 1 tblspoon to 20 oz of water... you can warm it in the microwave for about a min. and that should disolve the sugar... be sure and feed the little ones a 27-28% protein turkey starter... the real powdery feed... It's real easy for the birds to eat..
Hope this helps...

Feed would have been my question as well. They need a game bird starter feed for optimal nutrition and development. I also grind it for the first week or two to ensure they can eat plenty without struggling.
