Broody left rest of her eggs and they are peeping!

Poultry Cell is very good to give a couple of drops daily. Riboflavin and other B vitamins might help, but there can be splay leg or other leg problems (slipped tendon, leg bone deformity) with a difficult hatch. Your SaveAChick vitamins with electrolytes can be enough if you get enough into it. With any leg problems, the earlier they are discovered and treated, the better. You have had pretty good luck though given the circumstances.

Chick shoes and leg hobbles might be helpful if the toes are curled under, and the legs are too far away from each other. These may be good to use with a chick chair or using a padded cup to build leg strength.

Here the link, also one of my others looks like pasty butt or umbilical

Thank for the videos!
I would tape the toes flat, they look a bit curled. She may also have spraddle leg, look at the the article I posted previously, it shows you how to hobble her.

B-vitamins or poultry vitamins that contain B2(Riboflavin) would be good to give for several days as well.

For the butt, give it a clean up and get the poop off. You can put a little coconut oil or vaseline around the vent to help keep it from sticking. Also check the temp of your brooder - pasty butt can be from being too hot or cold. Chicks need one warm spot at 90-95F and let the rest be cool or room temp. Behavior is a good indicator if they are comfortable.

thank you, I taped the feet for now.. the brooder is 90 now. It was running 95-100 yesterday because I had our wood stove running. I left the wood stove off today so it cooled down a bit to 90.

Wood stoves really dry out the air-- which can worsen pasty butt. If you heat w wood, it's good to always have a steamer sitting on it to maintain some humidity...we still need to burn wood this late in the year and looks like we will thru the weekend.

Normally burn wood, but we don’t need to, just helps with taking the chill out of the basement ( and it’s free of course) lol but I just stopped it for now. Hopefully it warmsup here soon!

So Mom accepted the other 2? That's great.

Poor little thing, I'm sure she's not too happy, but you are trying to get her in shape. Hopefully the leg issues will resolve soon.

She gets out of everything I put her in so I have left her out of the cup and egg carton and she just has her shoes and hobble on. And yes momma hen took the other 2 babies last night. She was very happy to have them. I think she would take anything!lol
