Have a nickel foot chick

[Tala]

Just wanted to talk about him with people who understand.
I've had a bad hatch and I think I know why now. I had 3 pips, for over 24 hours so I peeled one out of the shell. The yolk was fully absorbed, but his legs seem weak and his feet are curly. I'm guessing weak legs kept the others from hatching after they pipped. Anyways. I taped nickles to his feet and he/she can stand up now. I think the legs will get stronger with time/use. I just hope it's a girl!!
