I posted yesterday about a chick w/curled up legs and feet
I got some pictures to show what is going on![]()

now 5 chicks have the trouble it starts as walking and stumbling problems then the foot just curls up and the chicken flops to its haunches and wallows around
I keep getting told it is spraddle or straddle leg but these birds have been on hay and straw for 2 weeks ever since we received them in the mail
I just put them on pine shavings because I was told this would help
could I have a vitamin problem?

im sorry about your chicks. i've recently switched from Mc Murray to Randall Burkey. they have cheaper everything and a bigger variety of breeds. i also hear their chicks are healthier.
