    Spraddled legs and curled foot?

    hi there I have a chick who was in his shell for 40hrs after pipping. I noticed he has a curled foot, I’ve made a boot for both feet as I notice his other foot looks a bit wonky maybe. Before this I put a brace on him for spraddled feet, but figured he won’t need that brace if his feet are...

    Not quite spraddle leg but chick can't stand

    This chick is about 36 hours old and from the beginning has never stood up straight. I don't think it is exactly straddle leg as the legs don't splay out to the sides he just won't stand. He pipped on day 22 and was shrink wrapped so had to be helped out, never had a slippery surface to walk on...
