leg deformed chick

Hi! We have this day old BO hatched from fertilized eggs incubated by our broody. She is the only hatchling in the clutch of 5 eggs so far. She seems healthy, vent is clear. I haven't seen her eat or drink, but she hatched 24 hrs ago. Sticking close to mama. She seems to have trouble walking...

Hi chicken parents! We had a hatching last night that has a deformed leg. It is as if it will not bend to get the leg forward. Other than that this chick is healthy and able to hop around on one leg unlike hatchlings that are not able to function properly and are unhealthy once hatched. This...

Hi everyone :) I have month old lame baby chick that my neighbors gave to me to try to nurse back to health. As you can see in photos in looks as though something is cutting of circulation. Also, it’s leg sticks far out from its body. I’ve moved it’s legs and it can go back to normal without...

Hello Everyone:) First time trying this so I hope I make sense. Recently my neighbors gave me a baby chick of theirs to try and raise back to health. The chick is 1 month old and has a lame leg. It sticks straight out from its body and can not stand on its own. It also has this strange scab ring...

Any advice would be helpful. Baby chick hatched on day 25, this morning at 10:30. She pipped at the wrong end and there was blood on her shell when she unzipped. She was able to get free on her own, but there was a clear membrane around her feet and bum holding her bound. After a few hours I...

Hi! At my work we sell chicks and this little gal got hurt a few weeks ago, I think. Video here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BackYardChickens/comments/a549ve/help_any_idea_whats_wrong_with_this_chicks_leg/?st=JPJFQEUB&sh=89f7237b They thought she was gonna die but she didn’t, she’s a fighter. I...

I have a buff brahma bantam chick that is 5 days old and has seemed to have hatched with a deformed leg. I looked up what it could be immediately and kept coming across splayed leg, so I tried hobbling her and doing "physical therapy" using a drinking glass. The more I read about splayed leg...

My broody hatched out nine chicks over the last two and a half days. These last two eggs pipped Saturday afternoon but never quite made it all the way. I just went out to find my hen kicking up the nest with her other chicks and they completely buried these last two eggs. The eggs were pretty...

Last weekend was another hatch for us. On the second day, we had some assisted hatched. 3 were sticky and had thick umbilical cord issues. Usually along with that comes leg splay etc. The 3 did have splayed legs. 2 were minor but the last was bad. We did our trusty chick handcuff method and 2...

I had an egg hatch yesterday and the little guy was a bit behind the others. His feet are balled up into "fists" and his legs are straight out behind him. He can't walk, just scoot by pushing forward with his legs. He's active and eating and drinking. Honestly, I wasn't sure he would make it...

Hi all, I've got a 6 day old coturnix chick with a hip/knee (?) that sticks up farther than it should on one side and makes him walk funny (see pictures below). He prefers to squat or run balanced on his hocks, but seems to be able to straighten the leg more when he wants to. He hatched from...

I have a chick called dozy, and his leg is deformed. He also has breathing problems. I don't know what to do as I live in a country where vets are no good.
