Hi there, I have a quail chick who is a couple weeks old, and they seem to have what looks like their "ankle" is going the completely wrong direction? Or maybe it's the hip - just can't seem to figure this one out! It's not a splayed leg though, I know that much. I noticed it's right leg was going out to the side so I did try splinting it's legs together at first, but it didn't do any good, in fact the issue just got worse. It still gets around.. eats, drinks.. but it's right leg is now pointing backwards, and I'm not sure if I can do anything to help it. Can't say for sure, but it doesn't seem to be in discomfort, it's not chirping or anything, but its so hard to tell.. wish they could tell me! Leg is all bent outta shape though, and I'm wondering if anyone can please point me in the right direction. I'd cull it, but I have one other quail chick (they were incubated under my chickens) who is it's only friend and I don't want it to be alone.
Anything you might have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
