? Why are my chicks legs so pale? The other two have pink legs this one has pale legs they are the same breed Buff Orpington’s, and actually from the same hen and roo.
Edit: the other two chicks seem good. This one is quite listless. Any advice on how to help I really want this chick to live I only had 4+ this one 5 out of the eggs I ordered. I’ve given it a syringe with egg yolk. I guess I’m desperate any advice would be appreciated. I know culling is an option. But at this point, I want to try my hardest it was a big investment and I would like to give it all opportunities.

Chicks from the same parents can come out totally different. Some pick up traits from mom, while other get dad's. I wouldn't worry too much unless there's other warning signs.
These chicks are all from the same pair, except for the RIR, and they are very different.

Well it was a very late Hatcher and seem to have hatched to quickly leaving blood in it shell. I guess I was wondering if it had lost too much blood 🩸 🤷🏻‍♀️. It’s very weak and lethargic compared to the other chicks. I rarely see it with its eyes open. I started giving it a syringe of egg yolk, but I guess I’m not sure if it’s going to make it. :( I only have four chicks out of this hatch that are strong from eggs I ordered I guess I’m DESPERATE and really want this chick to live.

How is this little one doing now that it's been a few days?
