So this chick is 6 days old. Was doing fine until this morning when I checked up on the group of chicks. Chick can move but on its hocks. Can not extend legs out and use feet. The feet and toes have movement, but unable to stand on them.
It’s not splay, but the legs seem to be turned outward.
When this one hatched, she still had an attachment to the egg for a day. Perhaps that’s the cause. I was thinking nutrition or heat, but the rest are fine.
Any ideas? Tendon? Wondering what to do to at least fix one of the legs if possible.
