Baby chick's legs

[jtmurphy]

One of my baby chicks born about 8 hours ago, legs (both) are spread apart and he can't stand or walk. He is in perfect condition otherwise. Is there anything I can do? He rolls over on his back.

Oh yes--- this MUST be treated immediately. During the first few days!

I will try to find the info for you on here....there is a fix for it!!!

Do a search for splay leg or splayed leg. There are threads here that cover it. I wish I had all the right info for you.

Good Luck and God Bless!
