I have 7 new coturnix with splayed legs born yesterday and today. I am going to wait a couple days to see if things improve. My question is this - Should I try to fix them or should I cull them to get rid if that genetic trait from my flock? I tried fixing five from my first hatch last spring but three of them ended up dying anyway. Are splayed legs genetic or do they have something to do with the way the chick was in the shell?
