Hatch Day With Intervention - Pic heavy (mild graphic)

[wilds of pa]

Wildsky, she/he looks rumpless and seems to have tufts maybe, hard to tell from the pic.

It more than likely would have died in the shell if you wouldnt have help it.

As for the leg maybe it will correct itself. But more than likely not. you could try a pipe cleaner.

Not sure what to tell you, i normally cull un-thirfty chicks, but if she is tufted and rumpless you may wanna do all you can for her/him..

Im sure there are some on here that delt with spraddle and know the best approach to this...

She/he is a sweety....

Charlie,
The Arucana chick is fine, its one of the EE's that has the leg problem.
I taped them together last night, with a space between them, but I don't think it has helped much.
She has a funny foot as well as a weird leg - here is her pic, I was taking the band-aid off her foot and my hubby took this picture. (I put a piece of thin cardboard under her foot instead and taped her legs.)

She still has a wobbly walk - but she is very sweet!!!!

Aww, good job Chelly! I'm glad to hear she's doing better.
