There are a couple of threads about three legged chicks, some with pictures:

Sadly the little tripod didn't make it through the night It was surprising actually because of how well it was doing yesterday. But on a happy note, his 3 siblings (2fbcm & 1 olive egger) are doing incredibly well and the last of the 5 eggs under my momma hen just externally pipped.

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess he had some internal problem...glad to hear the others are doing well.

So sorry to hear that. I'm glad you gave him a chance though, since he had seemed to be doing ok.

I'm curious how your chick turned out, the one with 3 legs and an extra set of toes yet on top of that? One of my chicks that hatched yesterday also has 3 legs, so I'm curious does the extra legs keep growing? Did it live a normal life like other chickens or was the legs a problem? My chicks extra leg is by the tail of the chick.

This is an old thread but OP said the chick passed away. You can start a new thread about your own chick?

If you keep reading , you see that the chick unfortunately didn't live more than a day. When chicks have visible issues, there are internal issues that are worse and their lives are short.
