I had a chick hatch out yesterday around 3pm.. The eggs came from someone on Ebay that a friend of mine ordered and split with me.. It has now been more than 24 hours and its legs are still not straight.. It's walking on it's hocks and the legs are turned inward.. This chick hatched on day 21 with no trouble.. No temp spikes/drops and no issues with humidity.. Everything was calibrated beforehand... Is this an issue that will resolve itself? Could have been too tight in the egg? I'm giving it extra vitamins but I want to cull it earlier rather than later if I need to...
