We have a silkie who was brooding for the first time with three eggs. A couple of times we checked, and she'd be off the eggs and they were cold. Well, this morning two of them hatched, but both of the chicks seem to have deformed legs and feet. They can't walk. Is this from her getting off the eggs and letting them get cold? Is there anything that can be done for the poor babies? I'm so tender-hearted, it is difficult for me to have to cull them.
