Two of the chicks our elementary school hatched out grew too fast for their legs to stand and feed wasn't restricted nights so they were down before I picked them up and brought home. Then their feet were too big and they stumbled more over those large feet and weak legs. I restricted feed and they began standing on shakey legs, then trying to walk on new big feet. They are doing much better now, but we're taking it a day at a time. They are hardly shakey at all and still prepare to use their wings if needed to walk but it seems they are (if only temporarily) on the mend. Good luck w/your Quincy, do her claws or feet get tangled in your carpet? I wouldn't take a chance and just keep her off the carpet...? No linoleum, they really need dirt, straw, grass, etc., natural to exercise on and "be a chicken."
