Welcome To BYCI have two chicks that when laying down continue to curl up their feet. When they are up moving around their feet seem fine. Is this a problem
Welcome To BYC
Can you post some photos of the chicks when laying down and standing up?
If they seem to be walking fine then its not a problem. Some of my chicks curl their toes when they lay down to sleepI have two chicks that when laying down continue to curl up their feet. When they are up moving around their feet seem fine. Is this a problem
The chicken in the picture above I had to separate from the other chicks, it’s growing at a slower rate, had a lamp where it wouldn’t walk on one of its legs. It’s not as active as the others. It seems to rely a lot on its wings to stand up. It tends to roll over on its side to lay down instead of sitting. There’s no inflammation in the leg...If they seem to be walking fine then its not a problem. Some of my chicks curl their toes when they lay down to sleep
Then it could possibly have splayed legs or a slipped tendon.
