Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Cheyen]

Haha, well I'll be back in a little bit, gotta make Archie's shoes.

 

[Cheyen]

give him time. He's been crammed in an egg for 22-23 days and it may take a bit to get everything functioning

Trust me, they're curled. He's hobbling around by dragging himself with his little thighs. His legs are also drawn up to his body still, so I'll have to figure that one out too.

Anything like any of these or worse? Sigh .. so hard to tell without seeing :/

 

[Cheyen]

Definitely worse. It almost looks like he's trying to make little fists with his feet.

Well I was trying to find pics of new chicks etc but apparently I don't take a lot of pics of their feet when they first hatch out and are laying on their faces I looked through over a months worth of pics and could mostly find 12hr or older chicks that you could actually see feet :/
I still think given time a little time....of course I can't see him so it's hard to judge how bad.

If they are too serious, I would boot them sooner rather than later. The sooner you correct, the sooner it will be fixed.

 

[Cheyen]

They were pretty bad, but they're all booted now. I doubt his feet will ever be perfect but I did the best I could.

His little friend is still resting, but hopefully he'll be out without any trouble. I'd hate to have to assist two eggs in a row, lol!

 

[bugglesmommy]

I had to assist all of my peafowl. SOMETHING went wrong, I just don't know what. I booted when they got out and their feet were correct by the next day without long term issues. If you correct really early it tends to be an easy fix.
