New Chicks

[PippinTheChicken]

Hello! This is my first time on this forum! It is also my first time incubating eggs and 3/6 hatched. But we had this one chick, he was in a really small egg and didn't completely zip so we decided to help him after a few hours. He survived, with many leg problems including a crooked toe, splayed legs... He doesn't seem to be growing as big as the other 2 chicks. He is 6 days old and the other 2 are a week old now. Is this something I should worry about? He is eating and drinking. Will he be okay?

Your window for treatment is quickly closing. Check out this link: https://the-chicken-chick.com/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it/

I've followed her treatment plan myself with great success, but started treatment at a week old. How is your chick doing now? Do you have any pictures?

How did your chick do?

She is perfectly fine now, still a bit smaller and weighs a bit less. But she is eating, drinking, cuddling fine. Still putting on weight which is good! They will be moving out in a few weeks.

Her legs have sorted out completely!
