Because it is. I've got it in a sling while I'm waiting to see if the treatment for a slipped hock 'takes' or not. The chick was otherwise eating, drinking, and trying to move, so we figured we'd reset the hock joint and cross our fingers. The sling lets it stand normally.You got some nice looking chicks. It will be interesting to see what they grow into. I have a question though. Why does it look like this chick is suspended by a string?...
