Is my quail OK?

[CoturnixComplex]

I spoke too soon! I jinxed myself! I just found my first baby with a rolled in ankle well after 24 hrs post-hatch!

I understand now.

Do it preventatively, although my window might be more like ~14-18 hrs post-hatch. I am worried about my ability to correct it now because I took it for granted it would fix itself quickly after hatch.

Thanks for the help! She's all bandaged up and I am hoping that she will improve.

Glad I could help!

@ButtonquailGirl14 , are buttons different in that if they come out with curled feet like that they are unlikely to improve on their own? Probably 30% of my coturnix have had curled feet for up to a day and they have always corrected themselves. Or is it just a super-extra-preventative measure (I'm sure it can't hurt!)?

Splayed leg at the actual hip/leg bones - totally different story. Have a poor wee one bandaid hobbled right now for that

I don't know, I have actually never had a bird with it you learn alot browsing byc!
