These look like bruises from being on her hocks so much. I would definitely try the Poly Vi Sol for a while and see if it makes a difference.

how much should i give her at a time? and is it the enfamil one?

If you use the Poly Vi Sol, you would give her about 3 drops in her mouth daily. You can get this at Walmart in the vitamin section, its liquid baby vitamins. Make sure its without iron. It comes with a dropper.

she's about a month old, her substrate is pine shavings and she is on a solid floor, no swelling I feed the quail a homemade starter because gamebird feed is very hard to find here, but I've never had any problem with the food I give them. but if you have any gamebird food suggestions it would be helpful
thanks

What exactly do you use for this homemade feed?

Do you have chicken feed available in your area?
I can and will find you and complete balanced feed for ypur birds so they don't get sicker...(this leg issue) if you tell me about where you live.

chickens are illegal in my area. i live in a city in Canada

I use a blend of sunflower seeds, mealworms, alfalfa pellets, and some bird seed. they do get crushed egg shells to supplement their diet, and also get veggies

I tend to agree with @Eggcessive . Your feed is lacking in the vitamins and minerals essential for proper development and overall health of your birds.

i just got poly vi sol for her. it contains riboflavin and a bunch of other vitamins so i think that will help
