Quail update: we all made it through the night. One of my assisted is acting normal. It is smaller than the others but functioning normally. The other is getting around but is having a hard time walking. It's toes won't spread they are curled under.

Curled toes can be corrected by making a boot. The earlier the better the chances and faster it can be corrected. Take a look at chicken chicks blog. (It's after the spraddle leg stuff.) She shows some examples of how to make a boot for it. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it.html

Both my chicks survived. They have sprouted some impressive wing feathers and at least 1 has a pea comb. In love.

My quail hatched on Friday and they are already getting their feathers. They are eating and drinking so much every day. This is awesome.

Good luck! Ducks are so fun to hatch. I have some in the incubator now due on Sunday to hatch and they are already pipping.
