I finally figured out what is wrong with my Chicks. (unfortunately, one of them did not make it), they had "slipped Achilles tendons" it's seen when chicks push very had out of the shell, or if they are squashed or stepped on by other Chicks. The treatment is to put the Chick in a "Chick Chair" in which the feet of the Chick hang suspended, but don't touch the ground. I improvised a "Chair" by using a a small sturdy box (no bottom flap), cutting an oval opening in the top, then inserting a facemask into the opening. This mask has two rubber straps, which fit around the box. I cut out the sides of the box, in order to see the Chick's legs. In the facemask I cut three holes, two for the Chick's legs and one for stool. I used the caps from water bottles (turned upside down) and taped near the Chick's face for food and water. I'll take a photo and post it. I'll take the Chick out three times a day to scratch it's back, make sure the Achilles are in the right position, inspect for pressure areas, pasted butt, and to be sure the circulation is still good. I read that it's important to keep them in the "Chair" until the swelling in the legs is down. Also, having their legs hang in. Normal position stretches the Achilles (which shortens when they sit with their legs bent under them).
