late joining in, needing some help. this is the most active thread and don't want to start a new one. I had a chick who hatched last wednesday, was doing fine. Thursday one of my kids dropped the chick and now it doesn't want to put weight on the leg.

I seen this post and read your reply, maybe you can help me.
I have a 3 day old chick that I hatched, it was fine the first day normal hobble and wobbles for all the chicks. But last night I noticed that one of my chicks doesn’t want to put weight on its foot, it tries to scratch itself with...

I got videos posted; I found a third egg last night that might have twins. movement in these eggs are completely different than the other eggs. I didn't get to candle these guys till last week so didn't see first development to confirm twins from the beginning as I had a hen sitting on them for...
