My peachicks about an hour old and it's sitting up and everything but it's feet haven't gotten all the way out yet. How can I help it? Is there anything I should or could do?
 
If the toes are curled under, I cut tiny pieces of cardboard the size of its foot and put a bandaid over top and left it for a day. So mine had a harder time walking around with it's "flippers" but fixed the toe problem:) you can look up other ideas too.
 
Well it's still kinda curled under but it's starting to straighten but not much and it's not quite walking on it's feet it's walking on it's elbows
 
He is fine wait till tomorrow you will be amazed how well he /she does, it takes about 24 hours for the to get fluffy and up and walking.
I hade one hatch the same time as yours he is still on his side trying to rest tomorrw he will be up and stumbling around till he gets his sea legs.
here he is, don't know why i call it a he, i want a hen.
 
I do the same thing! I want a hen but I also want a male .... Lol I have one more that's supported to hatch tomorrow :)
 
Yours is SUPER cute! I love how mine is just so sweet and loves to cuddle :)
