Baby Chick leg problem

[Wildsky]

I think you can see her leg is 100% better, her foot/ankle area is a little off on her left side, but nothing she can't learn to live with. Her foot even straightened up.....

There IS something that can be done for these chicks.... the above photo's are proof, she's not perfect, she topples over and wobbles a bit - but she's my PET not for breeding or showing or bragging about.

Your first picture it looked liked the feet were under developed. But did you hatch the eggs from your flock?or buy them and then hatch em?

My standards eggs are not fertile. I bought the eggs. I think this little girl was just very scrunched up in her shell...

That first picture also has a band-aid on her foot - I was taking it off at the time....

Thats probly the problem. Many bought eggs have problems during shipping. Where did you buy them from?

You do need to see the beautiful girl I helped without any problems....

VERY well worth the effort and stress it took to help her out her shell.

Wildsky-
I think things just happen. I say, help your little chickie as much as you can. It doesn't matter HOW it happened (shipped eggs, helping out of shell, whatever it is), what is more important is that you are helping her thrive.

And the little booger has us ALL wrapped around her little wing.... LOL
The kids just love her, because when they hold her she doesn't try run off or get under their hair

9 times out of 10 she will snuggle in a nice warm hand and go to sleep!

Hmmm she might have problems with her flock. That or improper incubation. How many did you get from her? Were the eggs small or wrong shaped? How long did it take to get the eggs and return home? Many factors effect it egg hatching.
