Hi, another newbie here!
Problem- 1 chick, slightly smaller than others keeps falling over not able to get back up easily, stands around and is a bit vacant? not as curious/ engaged as others. Does walk about a little bit, but not much. Pictures below.
Context- 3x 1 day old chicks. Had some incubator troubles with temp as its summer where i am (New Zealand). So they all have curly toes of some kind. I think I have the toe issue sorted with taping their feet and the 2 other chicks see, healthy and happy otherwise. They are Faverolle's, got them from down the road. I hatched some Barbu DÚccle bantams 3 weeks earlier in same incubator and no issues.
Any thoughts? much appreciated.
