Hello from South Carolina...I've been getting lots of good information from BYC and this is my first post. Thank you in advance for any advice. I just got 10 baby chicks--these are my first.
Two of the newest are having problems getting around. I think one has a broken leg and the other one (smallest/newest) seems to have deformed feet and is 'knee walking'. I'm going to attempt to post pictures here.
The one with the broken leg can stand on the other, but the 'knee' joint looks a little rough. The tiny one hasn't fluffed out all of the way yet and really just waddles around.
I'm not sure what to do. They are starting to eat and drink a little and make a LOT of noise and even push each other around. I have them separated from the rest but I'm wondering if I should separate them from each other and if there is anything that I can do for either of them?
Thank you!
