I am planning a hatch in a few months and am starting to learn everything I can (I know basics of incubation just starting to learn all the details). I have seen/heard of people on here that have hatched deformed chicks. I know this happens, it's just a part of hatching but how common is it? Have you experienced any deformed chicks? How bad was the deformity (like splay leg or curled toes or more severe like missing eye or something where chick had to be put down)? How did/would you treat deformed chicks? I am willing to care for any deformed chick if it can live a good life even with help. I am willing to care for a adult bird with a small disability like blind in one eye or a limp.
Thank,
