I have a 3 day old chick whose feet are giving it some trouble. This chick came out of our incubator. I thought it might be wry neck at first and she has improved a little since I started giving her vitamins. She used to not be able to hold herself up at all. Now she's a little wobbly, but can sit up. Not really stand though, or walk.
When I pick her up, her toes are bunched together instead of straight. I've had her in tape booties, but it seems to me like her left leg works better than the right one. The right toes spread out more than the left, but the right leg seems to angle inward and she trips on it with her other foot.
I'm hoping there is more I can do for her, or if I keep giving her vitamins and keep her in her booties she'll eventually get better, but thought I'd reach out and see if anyone knows better than I do what might be going on and if I'm likely to succeed in helping her.
