I had a chick hatch with a leg that seems to be out of it's socket or just smushed in the egg and is now off. A day with buddies didn't help. I bound the leg to the other tonight, but I don't think it will help. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. It's at the hip, leg goes all the way behind it and twists inward. It's using the wing to help move itself, but it always ends up flipped. I have to dip it's beak so it can drink. I'll start mash tomorrow after work also. Never had a leg this bad, it's different than just splayed legs.
It had an odd hatch. It was an egg on the second level, I had 1 egg crate on the bottom and then another with eggs above it. It seemed to of exploded out of the egg, brown-red old blood in the shell and ALL over the chick. It was caked up, maybe that's where the leg issue came from. But the shell had a lot of muck in it and all over the other eggs and the chick.
Ideas..??
