I noticed the first hatched chick today having trouble keeping his/her balance. This chick was in one of the smallest eggs in the incubator (not a bantam) and filled the egg. It was full of life and energy running around in the incubator trying to "wake" the rest of the eggs and I was thrilled at how healthy it was (this was my first time incubating). Today I moved it and the only other chick that hatched into a brooder. The other is thriving but the first hatched is not. I examined the leg and it seems there is a "knot" on the heel. Is this something that can be fixed? Anyone know what it might be?
Thank you,
