Help! I hatched my first chicks in the incubator yesterday. 100% hatch rate! But once I moved the little guys to the broider box, I noticed that one of the black sex links (RIR sire, barred rock mama) was having a lot of trouble getting around. I checked him out, and he's got a third leg that seems to be growing out from the inside of a fully formed leg. The extra foot looks like two entwined feet. The host leg is struggling to work normally. He's just flopping around and pulling himself across the floor with his good legs
I was prepared for a few surprises, this being my first try. But this was not on my contingency list. What do I do? How can I help him? And has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks!
