Chick, gooey egg, curled feet, and Katee baby bird formula

[Hennypen]

The humidity during incubation got all messed up and as a result the chicks hatched from gooey eggs. One chick's legs/toes were curled under and the poor thing couldn't walk. Afer the 2nd day he was either going to die due to lack of food and water, he still couldn't stand much less walk, or I was going to have to help.

I started feeding Kaytee baby bird formula and now on day 4 her toes are uncurled and she can walk. YEA! She still prefers teh baby bird formula over chick feed so we're having to monitor that.


Here's her video.

medicated chick feed and vitamin water and make sure the heat is not to high and they can get out of it if need to

That's fine once they can stand to eat.
