    2 day old baby with curled feet, HELP!

    She could never stand but did learn to prop up with her wings. Her toes and legs twisted. I never should have helped her out of the shell but couldnt watch her struggle and suffer in the shell. Especially when I thought it was my fault. She finally paseed 6/21 Saturday night at 6 days old.

    2 day old baby with curled feet, HELP!

    The best thing I know is for Mother Nature to take its course but it is so hard for me to just sit by while an animal is suffering. I can't kill it. I've watched these eggs develop and then hatch. The thing is tho that the other chicks are already bullying this little one and I've had to...
