This silkie hatched 12hrs ago. It can't walk. It just scoots around. It keeps both legs together with one tucked up under it. Doesn't look like splay leg or slipped tendon. Any idea what to do?

Did your chick find its footings? If so what steps did you take? I had one I helped (only zipping I make them push out) earlier and it’s not walking around like my others are. I did do a splay leg wrap with bandaid… hoping that helps by the am.

I would Get her some vitamin b complex. Silkies are little stinkers. Lol.

And fix her flooring, use something rubbery or a cloth not newspaper. I like to use rubber shelf covers.

How’s your chick? Flooring is the most important thing with silkies. Nothing slippery, I find that even wood shavings is slippery for some silkies.
