Maybe two days, at first we didn’t think anything was wrong with it, we thought it might just be stunned so we separated him from the others but then when he tried walking around he couldn’t. Also how do I split it, these are my first quails?
That looks dislocated at the hip, if it’s dragging itself by the head, it probably broke the pelvis, or whatever it’s called in birds. If the leg was just broken it would have a deep red purple area around the break, and it would probably stand on the other leg. Dragging itself by the beak means that moving the legs is impossible or excruciatingly painful, I think it’s kindest to cull it.Ouch. That looks like more than just broken. It looks like the entire leg is dislocated. (I'm not a vet, and I'm guessing). Personally, I would cull, but if you don't want to cull, I would take it to a vet.
