i have in each hatch a couple of chicks that around the 3 week of age mark..develope a waddle in their walk, followed by their abdomen swelling up as if they cant poop..then they generally die or i cull them. When theyv only had the waddle and the next morning i find them dead, their abdomen...
well thanks to all for the information.. very very much appreciated..I am going to stick with the bloodlines i know to be pure and retain my breeders from within that core. U have all been extremely helpful and given me much to read. :) Thanks ppl :D
