I just had a chick hatch out yesterday morning around 8:30. It was the first to hatch and looked fine. This was my first time hatching chicks. Well we took it out around 1pm today along with 2 other chicks. It's been keeping one of it's eyes shut though it will open it when suprised and the eye looks fine (no discharge or cloudyness). Also two of it's toes on each foot are crooked at the joint. I can tape them strait right? How do I do that? It's running around with the others and eating and drinking. The only thing I have noticed is it seems to like to sleep standing up. The others will be sprawled out and he will be standing with his head between his legs nodding off. I think he does lay down eventually. Thanks for any help.
