i had a chick hatch about 30 hours ago. hes all fluffed out but he cant walk!!!! THE WAY HE MOVES IS VERY DIFFERENT. hell have his beak on the ground and his back has a wierd arch to it. hes peeping and drinking. its almost like he cant get grip on his feet. he cant keep his body straitend up so hell sit on his hock and fall over backwards.

i know this is not a very good discription but i need help FAST!!! im reaally nevrous ansd scared.

Does he peep more often than the others?

You say he can drink. . . Is this with your aid, or can he actually walk over to the waterer?

 

[roocrazy]

Get a tea cup and set him in it with paper towel on the bottom for a few hours it may help

ok i used a roll of tape for him to sit in kid of like a bumbo chair for babies... will that work???

 

[La Mike]

Not if it can roll or get out of it
The cup thing makes it stand on its feet so it gains more strength and stability to its legs but prevents it from moving enough to add splay-leg to its issues

 

[roocrazy]

well because m going to bed soon i dont want him to be uncomfortable but right now he cant get out

 

[La Mike]

Just so it keeps it upright it should help
Good luck
