Hello, I have a chick that looks exactly like this! It hatched today and it has what looks like a high hip and the leg splays inwards and sometimes the chick moves forward and the leg stays behind it. It can move its legs fine but cannot walk yet. What happened with your chick? Did you manage to get it better or did it die?Thanks for the advice!
Yes, it was definitely born that way. I noticed it couldn't stand up in the incubator and that the leg was "stuck" behind her (if it's a pullet).
She can't stand, but she can waddle around where she needs to. Yesterday I kept picking her up and putting her leg underneath her, if it was behind her that is. Seems like she doesn't keep her leg behind her at all today. When her leg is underneath her her right foot crossed over her left slightly, which I think she trips over when she tries to step.
Thanks again!
