chick is 6 days old.
Won’t walk straight up. Other chicks it came with were fine. We did lose one yesterday unknown as for why. But this one has been like this since we got it.
Not sure why?
Any help appreciated ❤️

Have you started any chick vitamins, such as Poultry Cell 3 drops daily, or human B complex 1/4 tablet crushed into a spoonful of water that contains riboflavin on the label? It would be good to see a picture of the legs from the front while holding up the chick to a standing position. There are some problems such as slipped tendon and varus or valgus leg bone deformities, as well as splay legs that affect chicks. Some are due to hatching problems with humidity and temperature fluctuations. Some cannot be fixed.
