    Foot or Feet or Leg Issue

    I have a day old chick yesterday - 2 days old today that can’t walk. She kind of tries to walk and stumbles and then just sits again. She sits on the back of her knees. Her legs don’t go out so I don’t think it’s splay leg but she doesn’t seem to really extend her legs straight and her feet curl...
