    special needs chicks looking for a home ( gainesville florida area)

    I have a golden laced polish chick, out of tolbunt polish, that is looking for a home. he/she had splayed legs when it was born. I tried taping them but it didn't seem to work. he/she gets around good but I don't think it would do well in a big flock situation.
