I got some chicks in the mail yesterday from the hatchery, and one of my Buff Orphinton chicks can't stand. It's legs aren't going off to the side and she's hopping/scooting around, but she cannot stand. For the most part she's just sitting on her bottom with her legs underneath her body.
Also having a problem with sticky bottom with her, which does happen and I know how to take care of that, but I feel awful she can't walk. I thought maybe it was spraddle leg, but her legs aren't really going off to the sides.
Any help or advice would be great. There are replacement chicks because a dog got to some of my husband's Delawares, and I would hate to lose any more chickens.
