francesca88 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I hatched 2 quail chicks yesterday unfortunately they have curled-under toes. So today I cut out 4 triangles of cardboard, straightened out their feet and stuck the cardboard on with masking tape - I am rather proud of them! How long will they have to wear their little sandals for before their feet straighten out enough? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Aww Can they walk/stand up on them? Should be a couple of days I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francesca88 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 They're lifting their feet up a little higher than usual, but they seem to be getting on ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I had to do this with one of mine. they should straigten out pretty quickly but make sure you check them at least every other day as their feet grow so quicky. Aww bless, they do look funny dont they, but still seem to be able to get around ok. good luck with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
