Help! Leg malformation on newly hatched chick 🐣

[jtommaso]

Does anyone know what’s the matter with this sweet little one?
He is a fighter with so much strength but he cannot use his legs properly and flails them around unable to walk.
Initially I thought it was spraddle leg but now I’m thinking it could be something else.
Any tips/suggestions please??
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Can you post a pic of him sitting naturally? Poor guy. How do his hocks feel? It could be a slipped tendon. Did you hatch him or buy him?
