    Chick flipping on back, not walking correctly

    I had a chick just hatch out of the incubator she keeps flipping on her back and cannot walk normal. It could be spraddle leg but I’m not sure if flipping on the back is part of that. She literally is like four hours old but it’s more than just how chicks wobble around after they hatch. Only...

    Chick with leg issues/is there a chance it can adapt?

    I've previously posted about a chick I brought home with leg issues. It turned out to be a slipped tendon and despite my best efforts it could not be corrected.
