Hi, I'm getting quite distressed here ATM
I have 6x 1 week old Sussex chicks.
I have spoke to another breeder this morning who definitely said this isn't normal and on her instructions I got them some vitamins for the water.

Do I tape them all up? I want to help them so they can go to their new homes they are not all staying with me as I had planned to sell some of them and I have more eggs from a different breeder going into the incubator.
2 chicks are quite bad and I want to help them all best I can possible.

What makes you think that the wings are deformed? It looks like their little feather's are starting to grow in. I would think you would wait until they are grown in before you cull them. Feathers grow on two separate bone span's. Their only a week old.

I believe I just read that they've already been culled. It was confirmed as split wing, if I'm not mistaken.

I have had plenty chicks before and consultated breeders before I culled them it's definitely a deformation bad breeder who sold the eggs nothing I did
