Hi guys..
Nothing majorly bad going on here.. just very curious to find out what is wrong.. long story short, we've hatched many chicks, but 2 weeks ago we hatched 3 golden laced wyndotte chicks (all girls i believe - yay!) but two have very very deformed toes.... and one is completey fine.. (pics were taken today by the way, they're 2 weeks old today!)
Hope these pics work, satelite internet is never kind to us, lol... here is the pic of the normal girls feet:
As you can see.. they're all straight, nothing wrong... now her sister, with only a slight deformity:
See her slighty bent toes? one on the far left and one on the far right?? weird huh.. i have no idea at all what has caused this..
Now for the shocker... Here's the final girl.. with really badly deformed feet:
When this girl hatched, one toe was bent and she found it difficult to walk about (wobble more like lol) and since growing.. it's never come right I'm not sure whats caused it... im assuming its not from diet because they're fed the exact same thing as our other chicks (who are all fine)... maybe postioning in the egg?? what d'you guys think? and worse of all.... d'you think its hereditary?? -gulps- if so i'll keep these sweethearts for house eggs instead of breeding (or pets IF they're boys lol)
It doesn't seem to effect their life.. they're able to walk, stand, eat, drink, sleep.. and run!! but it's just puzzled me..
some more pics.. although i dont quite know if the internet will take it.. lol
