Please post pictures if you can. You say "kind of chipped off" so is the injury small? Where is it located on the leg? Would you be able to bandage it? I would rinse the wound, ideally with a saline solution, wound cleaner, or vetericyn, dab a little antibiotic ointment (with no pain reliever) and wrap it with a small wound pad and some vet wrap, or similar bandaging.
I will try to get pics.
I really can't give much input without additional details. I haven't worked with quail, but with chickens I wrap their wings and body with a towel (like a burrito) to keep them still when I have to work on their feet. You can try that.
I can't really tell when the bird is injured?
That dark spot right under her feathers, again.. Quality and lighting is horrible.
No. Just medical tape
