Quail can't walk or stand

[Aggieh13]

He is 5 weeks and had access to food and water in the aviary and all of a sudden this morning he can't walk or stand. I'm giving him electrolyte water. And in a small cage in the house. My question is anyone have any ideas? As to why this is happening?

Do you have any pictures? How is he positioned? Are his feet curled or swollen?

 

[Aggieh13]

They are stiff and curled under I will get a picture as soon as I can and he's not laying on his side he's sitting normally just can't walk or stand up

What happens when you stand him up on his feet? Does he fall down?

 

[Aggieh13]

His legs splay and he falls down

i had something similar happen to one of my girls. she got scared and banged into the wall and was unable to walk or stand. i believe it could be caused by an injury in the leg or spine area

What are you feeding him?
What is your setup like?
Is he eating and drinking?
What does his poop look like?
