Help with newly hatched chick

[MeyMus]

Wyorp Rock suggested Vitamin B Complex, have you tried it? Chick chair would help get the weight off until the leg gets stronger. There's a website Poultry Podiatry, thank you BYC members for mentioning it in the past.

Yes... have started up vitamin B. I'll have to see if i can make the chair up... thank you all

Awwww thats no good. Its a little wyandotte chick so it will get quite big and heavy. Plus im sure the flock will pick on her if she starts crawling.
Im trying to do as much as i can now before it gets too big and isnt as soft to work with...

If several more hatched with no issue, I tend to think it's just a fluke. These things happen. It's tight inside that shell and amazing the way they develop anyway!. So to have a few that don't come out perfectly is understandable. I know my flock is happy and healthy, and I've hatched many many healthy and perfect chicks, but still get the occasional problem ones. I look at it as all part of the cycle.
