Hi all, I recently hatched button quail (they are about a day old now). And two of them have some splayed legs. Either the legs go to far forward and they paddle their feet in front of them, or way to far back. They can for the most part wobble around, but are severely tired all the time due to the amount of energy spent. Ive tried the shot glass method for about 10 minutes in a total of 4 times since they moved out of the incubator. However, I don't see an imporve. (I think the shot glass might be too big?) Ive tried using the rubber band and straw method but these guys are tiny enough that small hair ties dont work. Im not sure where to go from here, these guys really deserve a chance. Any suggestions? Has anyone else run into this with buttons?
