Wry Neck quail chick

[Quailer]

Ok, thanks,
I already got 7.5 kg of quail layers pellets and I thought it would
probably be good for them
:/

If it is for quail then feed it.

Just wanted to be sure

About 7 weeks for Coturnix. They still need pretty high protein at this stage.

The first two chicks hatched perfectly but

Last three quail that had trouble hatching. After three days of trying to get out of shells I carefully helped. Their toes are all drawn up and one has a curved neck. I think it’s from remaining in the shells so long. Anything I can do?

Next time you may want to start your own thread rather than reply to one that's 9 years old, but I'll try to answer you.

One thing to keep in mind, chicks that have trouble hatching often have trouble for reasons. These may be okay with treatment, but they may not make it.

There's not much you can do for wry neck in quail. I have heard that chickens may respond to B12, but I have not had that experience with quail. The good news on this is that a quail can live a mostly normal life with wry neck as long as it can eat and drink normally.

As for the curled toes, you can try to fix them with tape "shoes". Bandaids cut down to size work well for this. Tape the toes into the proper position. They should be good in no more than 24 hours if this is going to work. If it doesn't, it will probably be kindest to cull.

Thank you. I don’t use this site very often and I forget how to start a new thread.
