Injury of legs after the hatch

[HappyHippyChick]

I hatched a chick and the legs seem twisted. I tried to make a sling but it seems like the chick is cheeping a lot and I'm afraid it must be hurt. And the poor thing. I do not know exactly what to do. I tried to feed it and use a sling and it just seems the feet are not working and the legs. I dunno. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I talked to the person which I got the eggs but the person is not being nice although says they are so professional and not being helpful at all.

But the person says I do not know how to hatch. Well, I don't think so. Something was a bit strange right after I bought the eggs and this person seems sketchy. But really I would just like some help about this poor chick.

I thought it was a nutrition issue. And now the eyes are closed and she is cheeping a lot. Some of the eggs looked small and I incubated 12 and 3 hatched. I had candelled and it did look like there was only 3 that were fertilized.

I'm wondering if there is a possibility that a hatch could cause twisted legs? I'm upset as it looks like the poor thing hurts and I mya have to take her out of her misery. I'm just wondering if why this may have happened

Could we see some pictures of the legs?

What kind of flooring is in your imcubator? Is it a flooring with traction?

Did the seller show any poctures of their breeding stock?

What breed is it?

Can you post a pic? I had to hatch one the other night and her legs weren’t working at all. I layed her on her back in my hand (in a warm towel) and gently bent and her legs for her even making sure the hips were working properly. She did holler quite a bit but I did a little DIY physical therapy, put her back in incubator, offered her grogel (for a pick me up) and then continued for about every 30 minutes. I figured she would die. The next time I went in for her little physical therapy session she was actually walking around (weak but still trying) she lived and she’s doing perfectly fine. I’m just offering advice from a personal predicament. Hope everything works out.

Try a little physical therapy before you put her down. You never know. And if you can mix a little sugar salt and baking soda, even some egg told in a syringe to help her with weakness. Just keep stimulating her little legs! She may be a miracle chick

It may have been for the best. There is a chance her legs couldn't have been fixed, not giving her a quality life.

You done what you could and I am sure she appreciated you not giving up on her.

Thank You. I'm crying the poor baby. What a sweetheart little baby.
