A chick hatched two days ago with a really big belly that is finally becoming a normal size, and the problem with the legs seems to be where they come out of the body, and not with the legs themselves. The legs stick out to the sides. I looked at threads and tried several braces, but so far nothing has stayed on. It's like the legs don't want to be in the normal position. The chick gets around by scooting around using its legs like oars, first one side then the other, and peeps a lot. I don't have a second heat source to where I could separate it from the rest of the chicks, but the others don't seem to want to bother it. Thoughts?
