Late-hatchling seems naked

It's not drying and fluffing up like all the others did. Kinda strange. Looks like Smegal without ears.

Does this just happen?

I had one like that. A barred rock. He was so ugly he looked like a pitiful Emu.... and so I named him EMU. I never thought he would look right or even survive. Today he looks like this:

I don;t know anything about Quail - but this young lady knows loads and may be able to help you! As I know she breeds them.

Oesdog - hope the little one survives for you.

Ok. We'll call him Emu and hope he fares well. He also had a wing stuck to his body, I suppose with membrane, so I soaked and rubbed that off. Will be surprising if he pulls through. Last I saw he was snuggling w/another happy chick.

I'm not too handy with the photos. Kinda ugly is the word. Looks like he took a permanent swim.
