I had a Cayuga hatch 4 days early yesterday. It seemed very good size but it seems to be blind (see whiteness in pupils), and it is just over 24 hours old and cannot stand even a little. He is stuck on his belly without assistance with his legs out behind it. He can move his legs a little, lift his head some, but cannot get up or straighten his feet or legs correctly. There is very obviously at this point, something wrong with him.
I have tried putting shoes on him for a few hours and it did no good because I believe his legs have problems as well as his feet. He is alert and peeping (almost constantly even when held), drinking (a tiny bit of sugar water) and eating a crumb or two some while I hold him. I put him correctly on his feet when I set him down, but as soon as he tries to move he is back on his belly or back and stuck.
I am pretty sure this is stemming from a incubator temp issue I was having while he was in there. I am really upset about this.
Please, please please. Any advice on what to do to either help him, or anyone with a similar situation??
Thanks.
