I posted this on my thread about incubating eggs, but didn't know if anyone was still watching that thread.
I recently hatched 3 chicks in an incubator. The last chick that hatched keeps falling backwards and can't get up. I thought it was curled toes and made little splints for her out of band aids, but it hasn't really helped. She is being fed water with a syringe and eats chick starter feed by herself from the ground. Right now she is in a cardboard box in the brooder (seperate from the other 2 chicks).
Idk what to do. Advice?
Note: She can walk well, it's just that when she falls she can't get back up. She loves being held and jumps into my hand whenever she gets the chance.
