My one Silver Penciled Rock chick hatched out yesterday but I have a question.
Seems like it's not getting it's legs underneath it and walking normally yet. It's trying to walk but still kind of waddles around whilst keeping legs close to the belly. The legs move and the toes flex and contract so it's not paralyzed.
We'd bought some day old chicks to keep it company but all they did was pick on it so I removed chick and have it in a separate box with a light. It seemed very week so I have been giving it drops of sugar water regularly and it's really perked up and is eating and peeping up a storm but is still not walking normally.
Suggestions ???
