4 legs!

[Jkelly1976]

This baby hatched with 4 legs. The two extra in the back are not functional. Also seems to have splayed leg. I’ve made a hobble with a band aid and hoping for the best. I’ve been dipping her beak every hour and she’s drinking enthusiastically, not interested in food yet. I’m exhausted, like I have a newborn baby, l. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Poor thing. She's got a parasitic twin. What you see externally is likely just some of her defects. She probably has some internal defects as well.

Did you set eggs from a newly laying pullet? Did you candle them to see if there were two yolks?

How's your baby doing?

Aww Lil muffin. How is the eating and drinking going?

OP hasn't made any more posts since the original one. I'd like to hear what happened with this chick too.

@Jkelly1976, how is the little one? Did he/she make it?

How is your weird bird doing? Looks really cool.
