    I think my week old cornish x chick has spraddle leg what do I do?

    When I taped his legs and put him back in the brooder he just rolled over on his side. He doesn't seem to be able to sit up at all on his own or stand for that matter.

    I think my week old cornish x chick has spraddle leg what do I do?

    My chick can't stand on its own it just keeps laying down with its head on the floor of the brooder! I just tried using a band-aid to help hold its legs in place and now it just keeps falling over on its side. I don't know what else to do, does anyone have any ideas?

    How often?

    Has anyone had any experience getting pullets from Myer's; and if so how did they do? I'm waiting for some chicks from Myer's right now and I'm a bit nervous.
