I have raised two sets of chicks, but this is my first time to hatch. I have 6 hatched right now and in the brooder. Three are great!!! One is smaller, but seems to be ok (just not as active). One has spraddled legs and maybe curled toes. I have wrapped first aid tape around the legs to try to help that. How long before you see results and the toes seem to be curled? Will the toes thing work itself out when its legs stay together. The last one I had to finish its hatch. It was about halfway zipped out and I waited 24 hours and it was still like that, but it was peeping away at me. I finally took some tweezers and finished the hatch. (very easy, no blood) This one is up and about, but is walking on its elbows. Do I need to do something about that? Its toes are all curled up. By the way, it is still drying out, but I went on and put it in the brooder so it would have company and it is very active.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
