Have to make room for new babies coming! Have lavender cuckoo, blue cuckoo, black & white silkie chicks. About 2 months old. Located about 20 minutes from Beaumont, Texas .
I just hatched 12 silkies today and the last 2 have problems. One chick just sits back on its butt with its legs out front and wobbles from side to side and cheeps almost constantly. I have tried standing it up correctly, but it just sits back down again. It's legs are not splayed. Can this...

Help!! I picked up my 2 lavender silkies today at the p.o. The roo was fine but my little pullet was stressed big time. She sits down on her butt with her legs stretched out in front of her. I have given her sugar water, vitamin drops, and she has eaten a little feed. I have tried holding...
