Update!
The six little Quail are all doing great so far and I absolutely love them!
They hatched Tuesday so they are all currently 6 days old, almost 7 in a few hours.
They are all developing great, just starting to get their white feathers and their personalities are definitely beginning to show.
In the below photos they are 5 days old so they have more feathering now on their wings.
Here are some photos of two chicks that loved posing for the camera:
They also have a plush teddy in with them. It's adorable, they all snuggle into it to go to sleep.
Well, I say all but one of them always stands on top of the teddy. 'He' is the biggest of them all so he must enjoy being quite literally the top dog!
Images are black and white due to them originally being hard to see because of their infrared light.
When these chicks first hatched I noticed one had very slight spraddle legs. It could walk fine but standing still, it's legs would spread apart.
The cup trick didn't do much good but we let the chick have a run on a rougher surface every so often and that strengthened its legs. 'She' can now stand and walk great.
I'm guessing this has slightly delayed her growth as she is a little smaller and doesn't have any feather growth yet but she's getting there.
Also, due to the spraddle legs she ended up with poop stuck to her belly. It's came off now but she got used to lying in my palm and seems to enjoy occasional belly tickles now. I can't see that lasting though!

No name at the moment as I can only keep her if she does indeed turn out to be female.
I do keep calling her Tiny Quail so if I do keep her, maybe it'll stick
