    Thought for sure I had two pullets but…

    Those tail feathers are looking a bit pointy! both are silkie/Easter egger crosses hatched May 1. The marans I hatched on the same date are VERY VERY clearly all roosters. These two are either pullets or late bloomers?!

    8 week old polish chick suddenly has week curled up feet

    Update: Brown Sugar is happy and healthy. We took her to the vet at the time of my original post. He was convinced it was irreversible nerve damage but said she wasn’t in pain. I hand fed her and made her practice walking and she made a full recovery. She is a social, broody, happy hen.

    8 week old polish chick suddenly has week curled up feet

    Trying to figure out how to upload videos but here’s a still where you can kind of see how her feet are both closed in on themselves. I don’t think both tendons would be injured…also, her eyes are clear.

    8 week old polish chick suddenly has week curled up feet

    Would it be Mareks if it’s ONLY the one pullet showing symptoms and both feet are sort of crumpled?! It was such sudden onset. I’m so upset! She is not vaccinated. We hatched her in our incubator.

    This same thing is happening to my polish cross at 15 weeks old. Starting electrolytes and B12. Is this genetic or common in Polish?
