I have a quail who just hatched yesterday he hatched 1/4 size as the rest I was dumb and incubated a tiny egg now he’s just been screaming his head off no idea why he’s staggering around like he’s drunk and he I guess chooses not to use his eyes as everytime I look at him they are almost always closed they do open. Could he be blind? And just can’t see the rest?
@Nabiki @Kiki i need your help.
 
It looks like a button chick! It doesn't look too bad, so you might try some Nutri-Drench. It has the sugar (molasses) and some bird nutrients, so it might help. If you're lucky you'll have a dwarf pet, less lucky and it will quietly pass away one day, worst luck it will suffer and you'll have to cull.

It doesn't look that bad off....Nutri-Drench would be the best thing to give it but if sugar water is all you got, then do that ....but not too much!
I sadly had to cull the poor baby he wasn’t doing good and was suffering just sprawled out not moving. Here’s a pic of him right before I culled him you can tell he wasn’t doing good. Thank you both for your help it was very much appreciated

I'm sorry. I was hoping it would be a cute pet.
