I need hatching support

[jeepgirl13]

Well I'm up again. I got 4 or 5 hrs of sleep.... thats 2 hrs more than most new moms! little babies are still not dry. Humidity was up to 80% from those little guys. Little guy by himself in the brooder is happy. He likes to cuddle. My son is holding him here.

So my assisted chick has funny looking legs to me. Is this splay or normal for some chicks?

Hahaha that's so funny. I am also a fluff brain.
I sometimes forget to turn off the water from my vegetable garden. But it's pouring down here, monsoon is in full swing so I don't have to worry much about irrigating my garden or orchard.

Were in a bit of dry spell here. I've got a lot of plants in pots too out there so i can bring them in through winter.

That chick is totally splay legged. It really seems to be just affecting one leg tho. Anyone got any idea how to correct it while hes still malable? Should I head over to the injuries area?

Hold on I'll get pics of it in the brooder. It's obvious that leg doesnt work right. Poor thing. I've never had to deal with such a thing. I will NEVER incubate eggs from an aging flock again. I cant help but wonder if that's the issue. I'm worrying a lot of these developed eggs will not make it out. Any idea how I can safely check them or should I just let then be for the next few days. Everyone kinda seemed at different development stages throughout incubation

Here his is. This is almost all it's been doing is just laying down, that one leg sticking out to the side. He can stand on it, but hes super wobbly and falls a lot.

Oh also I've got 3 so far, and one more who has a good sized pip hole from this morning around 730 I think. The one is tiny chick with huge beak. It's pretty cute. Cant wait to see them all. And see how they're going to look. The rooster of the flock is a silver laced wyandotte over quite a few different hens. No clue what all I've got in here beyond one blue egg, and a bunch of varying shades of brown eggs and a couple white. Oh, and the maybe a silkie eggs too. I've still got to go get pics of those ones parents.

It looks like the chick can be salvaged. Here is a link to a great post on treatment of splayed legs in chicks. It has helped me a lot. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw0j_mocO0DS46iqUBatn2YP&cshid=1566140368143
You see English is not my first language. I find it difficult to express myself clearly in English.

It looks like you have a staggered hatch. It's never a good thing.
