Definitely not splay leg . The place I got her think slipped tendon but I’m not sure?
She’s eating, drinking and all chicks have access to vitamins too in drinking water like a multivitamin (assuming that’s what poultry cell is).
chick is 6 days old.
Won’t walk straight up. Other chicks it came with were fine. We did lose one yesterday unknown as for why. But this one has been like this since we got it.
Not sure why?
Any help appreciated ❤️

What are we loving for coop floor bedding? We currently use mulch - which is working well! But looking at an easier upkeep now that we have more chickens!
thinking switching to sand? But not sure of the upkeep there!
What else is recommended? Wanting something that’s chicken friendly, easy...

This one has everyone stumped!
I know Olive eggers are hard because of the breeds to make them.
But I need help.
No crow, obviously no eggs.
