This chick took a long time to hatch relative to the rest of the clutch, several hours, and it came out leg first. Just the leg was poking out and kicking for hours. When it was finished I noticed blood on the eggshell near where the right leg had been sticking out. It also had what looked like a "wet spot" near the leg-abdomen joint.
What looked like a "wet spot" never went away and seems to be a wound. The chick is gimpy and can't use the leg well.


Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide.
