Hatched out 28 chicks this week. Everyone was fine except this little one. This one started to zip and got stuck. Membrane dried all over her/him and needed help getting out. Once we got him out this poor little one had spraddle leg, really badly curled toes and was TINY. About half the size of the others. Some would say cull it... I went with nurse him the best I could. Well three days in, spraddle legs corrected toes are straight and he's starting to eat on his own. Still keeping him separate till he gets a little stronger. Hopefully he keeps improving. We named him Forrest. Don't know if it's a he or she but either way, he's a fighter <3
