Hi! About 12 hours ago I had a quail chick finally hatch after 48 hours of being half hatched! He was a bit curled up at first, I assume from being in there so long but he still now has a foot that has curled toes and he can’t seem to walk properly. Could this just be from being in the egg for so long? Is this straddle leg? Thank you!
 
Curled toes are a common incubation problem with quail. You can try to stretch the toes or and make a boot with some tape and a tiny piece of plastic.
It's not straddel legs unless the chick appears to be doing the splits.
