Hi
I had 8 Japanese chicks due to hatch Friday. One hatched a day late by itself and 2 hatched 2 days late but I helped them out which I probably shouldnt have. One of the ones I helped has one leg like this
Is there any way I could stretch it out or anything or should I just cull it. He can sort of hobble around.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
 
Could you start some poultry vitamins in the water or give plain Polyvisol 2 drops orally each day? Also splinting the leg and making a boot might help. I can't see the leg well in your pictures. Vitamin deficiencies can cause foot problems.
 
I adopted abondoned baby chickens and think that one of mine may have the same problem. I don't want to hurt it or injure her further. Any suggestions?
