any advice I'll take it.
History.
Hatched this past Friday (light Brahma - day 21)
still air little giant
had humidity problems around hatch time.. lost several fertilzed eggs because of it - but hatched 7 chicks including this one)
She has Spraddle leg.
taped - brace - fell off twice but reapplied as it was still needing help.
Yesterday morning she seemed to be doing OK. Putting weight on it etc.
I even saw her drinking on her own (I have been bringing her to water every hour or so).
But since about 4pm yesterday on... all she does is lie their sleepy.
He brace came off this morning at 7 (again) and her legs are staying together but she isn't walking. She hobbles slightly.. falls over and just goes back to sleep.
She's barely drinking when I bring her to water and just cries.
I picked her up to remove the rest of the brace when it had come apart and she just chirped in protest for a moment and fell asleep in my hands.
She doesn't seem much bigger at all
her wings are just starting to form.
Any suggestions for this adorable girl?
Oh.. I have her in a small wire play-pen within the brooder with the other birds in hopes that she'll perk up and still be welcomed member of the flock.
