Barbu d'anver hatching difficulties

[GitaBooks]

Some chicks have legs stuck in the hatching position and they never straighten out. You could try bracing them once it dries off.

Just to update; I had to despatch the second chicken unfortunately. After three days the little mite just couldn't get up even with leg bracing. It was no way to grow up so I thought the best thing was to cull early. The sibling, however, is going from strength to strength. I also have a new batch of lavender/creole eggs which are going into the incubator today.
