Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me. I have been redirected here from the baby chick pictures forum as I have a problem with one of my latest hatchings. This poor little thing doesn't seem to be able to stand up at all. I took it to the vet this morning and they've said it is a developmental problem. It can sit up for so long, but then it will fall over and roll on to its back, unable to get up. Also it's head keeps lolling to one side. It can't stand up at all, doesn't seem to have the strength in its legs. I thought maybe it could be some form of splay leg? Or maybe even a vitamin deficiency? Any advise/help would be great. One the bottom picture it's the one that is sat funny with its legs out in front of it...as you probably will have already guessed. Thanks!
