One of our chicks was hatched 3 days ago with a twisted leg...it is not as a result of injury it is perfect just twisted so that her foot is almost near her wing.There was a thread with a similar issue but there were few responses and the chick ended up dieing :-( but if you take a look at the pic It looks exactly like our chick's leg.We are generally of the mind to leave it as be(may be too late now anyway :-/) and let her adapt to it and raise her with all the others (with extra human care of course).I would like to know is there something we can do?Do you think it will die?We are assisting it with eating and drinking ie helping him get to it..and at night we help him get under the MommyBlankies...https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...d-leg-on-newly-hatched-chick-not-spraddle-leg
