Chicken not walking

[Mariahtaylor]

I have a lavender Marans chick that hatched this morning and it is not walking on it’s feet. It legs are not splayed or toes curled. It’s just not trying to stand to walk. It almost swims with its wings. I can’t figure out how to post a video. I’m going to give it some time, but I’m not sure if I’m going to have to cull or how to fix it.

Looks fine to me. Because he just hatched, he doesn't know how to walk yet. Just give him some time! Congrats with your hatch!

Agreed, it can take them a while to find their legs. They are very tired from their hatch, and they sleep a lot and have bursts of motion til they get it figured out.

Great! I will keep watching. I was getting worried because the other are up and walking well and this one hasn’t even stood at all, just does the swimming motion.

Give it 24 hours, see how it's getting along then.
