Just hatched (quail). Is it broken?

[becomingquailmommy]

This little one pipped last night and was stuck with its foot out for over 8 hours. It just broke free a few minutes ago, and is rolling around. Wings look uneven, it’s having more trouble trying to stand up than the other newborns did, and what is that on the butt? It’s bulgy and whitish (looks moldy!?!). Poor baby is screaming its head off.

Any advice on what I can do for this sweet (malfunctioning?) baby?

Update: the little one’s hanging in there so far. Guess the white stuff on its butt was probably poo? Butt is still bulging big time. It’s standing up for the most part now, but tumbles every time it takes a few steps. It’s having a hard time keeping its head up. Any hope for it? Praying it’ll sleep and heal, whatever’s going on
