Leg that does not function -- In all my chick hatching years!f

[call ducks]

Hi,

Just had a smaller hatch come off, and one of the chicks seems to only be able to move one leg. This is strange, i am not sure if there is muscle lacking or something.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Leg issues can be from high or low incy temp, smooth bottom hatching tray or poor nutrition in the breeders. It could also be hereditary.
At any rate if it were me I wouldn't save the chick.

Well it would have to be the high incubation temps.... I had a spike up to 114 during the second week of incubation! -- Was not planing on saving the chick
