Please, please, please, seek the advice from @DylansMom if no progress is made, she seems to have a really good handle on hatching peachicks.

Don't know if I'd claim to have a good handle on it, but I am sure getting a lot of practice this year. By the way Kathy, since you had asked about it, that malpo'd chick from Monday, is actually up and walking now. I fear it may have some other issues going on, but at this point it seems to be gaining ground as opposed to losing it. It is drinking on it's own as well, I'm not sure how much it is eating though.

I am getting ready to leave for a cookout, so I'll have to try to get some pics or even video tomorrow. He had a slightly messy navel, nothing terrible, but it doesn't seem like it is drying out and healing as quickly as it should. I did Trip.ant.oint. at hatch. We put shoes on him as toes were really curled, they are good now, but his legs want to spraddle out a little. I hobbled, but with hobbles he won't walk at all. Sleeps a lot. and much weaker than the others. Eyes always seem half closed. Poor little guy went thru the wringer, not sure I should have intervened, because now I'm getting attached!
