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 one foot looks a bit curled, but it’s like she’ll walk backwards and fall over on to her back and then has a hard time getting back up. Any thoughts on what it is or what I should be doing for her? As well as what would’ve caused it? Would it have been a deficiency in my hens or something off in the incubator? Seems like I still have six other healthy chicks hatched and three still working on it. I do have another one similar situation but definitely not as bad. thanks for any thoughts!
