Help... Quail 9 days old toes turning?? He has always been smaller and had stumpy legs but had been getting stronger, eating drinking and running round like the rest of them. Now it appears the right foot is turning in slightly and he is shuffling more so than recent days, he can still walk and run but is a bit wobbly and keeps coming back down onto his bum - when he was younger he shuffled but then seemed strong enough to hold his weight.
I had feed that was a bit low on protein which I didnt realise but today got a higher mix, and had been treating them with boiled egg to make up for it as soon as i found out, which they all wolfed down, including Little Steve, as we call him/her. I really dont want him to die, though I know runts tend to... I'm just too soft, and also scared as I dont know how to attach "shoes" to help him stand. He seems feisty enough, though has been less active today if I am honest.
What is your honest opinion, excluding leaving him to it? Anyone else had babies like this that have died / survived.
Also, now they are 9 days old, what temp in degress Celsius, should it be, Mine ranges from 22 deg C to 30 or 31 deg C under the heat lamp.
Thanks anyone for advice....I'm new to this and they are designed as pets for eggs so I have become far too attached to them I think and am feeling sad..
