I have Save-a-chick electrolytes in the water. The ingredients said it contains riboflavin so hopefully it helps. It is not a silkie. It is a LF barnyard mix with a Buff Orpington dad. I saw him get up and walk without curled toes for a couple of seconds so yay!
He does walk and can stand for a few seconds but then goes back to crawling. His toes are usually twisted, though. We got him some friends at the farm store and they get along great.
Well, one chick hatched before him but it had a dislocated hip, so I put it down. He was the only one left in the incubator so I decided to get him out. We are going to get him some more friends at the farm store though.
He just hatched a few hours ago, and seems to have odd feet. His legs are fine but his feet seem off. Will this go away within a few hours and is normal? Or should I make him little cardboard shoes?1
