ok just check on him often to make sure he's not over-heating or too cold.
(sad experience, I lost one that I immobilized in an area that was too warm)

i checked up on him, and took him out of his cup for a couple seconds, he can't stand nor drink nor eat, he just desperately tries to get up but he just falls back down :( i searched the internet to try and find a solution, and here's what i found: https://imgur.com/86iYQVb would something like this work?

hmm, idk, i did that, but he's just kicking the air, desperately trying to get up, i dont know if it's working, i'm gonna leave him in the brooder with the others, but i don't really expect him to survive :(
 
i stumbled upon this topic: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/baby-quail-chick-can’t-stand-up.1226305/ seems like my problem is much like the one described here! my chick has a swollen foot, and it's pretty red, so i'm now massaging his little foot a bit to see if it is fixable. He isn't doing well, he's on one side and can't get upright at all, poor little guy, i hope he can recover, but the odds are against him :/
 
ok, i have an update on the other eggs, we are at day 23 (counting from 0) and no other chicks have hatched, i'm gonna pull the plug tomorrow and finish this incubation, the results weren't good at all (10% hatch rate, 3 chicks, 1 birth defect) but this taught me a lot of things and gave me hope i didnt have since the last incubation (none hatched that one time). I wanna thank you all for all the help you've given me in the past week, thank you very very much, i couldnt have done this without you all!!!

the fun part is i actually used 4 thermos and 2 hygrometers other than the builtin ones to calibrate the temps and humidity, next time i'll use a new bator, non-digital thermos and non-digital hygrometers, hopefully it'll go better :) i'll send you some pics of the 2 little guys that hatched successfully tomorrow :D, a question i have is, one of the two is like double the other, can this mean they are a male and a female? or is it because one hatched a day later :D
