Is this chick normal??

[DebbieA57]

Hi, could someone with chick raising experience please tell me if it’s normal for a chick to be awkward/have issues walking/standing. Unfortunately I can’t upload a video here. She doesn’t walk around for long and always plops down, no matter what the surface. She even eats sitting down. Her toes are not curled at all, but the middle toe looks very long to me. Will she grow out of this? She’s been like this since I brought her home - no injury, at least not here

ps she seems perfectly healthy otherwise.

Thanks.

Can you post a picture of her? Hopefully she's not a Cornish X. That's typical behavior for them.

She’s a blue copper maran. I posted some photos.

I wound up bringing her back. I couldn’t risk having a handicapped chicken as my older girls can be brutal. It wasn’t worth the potential heartache.

You can post a video on YouTube and post the link here.

Fair enough.
