Hi all,
A peackick just hatched under a chicken and when we found him he was sitting about 20 cm away from her.
Little bud is very flat, and seems to have either splayed legs or a Brocken hip? Also his toes are curled and his feet are shaking, he is unable to walk and seems to have soar feet?
Any advice would be great

It looks like it had trouble hatching and spent time cramped in the shell. Once they start breathing the bones start to harden so it is important to get those toes flattened out asap. The best way is to put it on a cardboard. Make two holes for the legs to go through and tape the feet flat on the bottom of the board. They will only need to be taped down for 24 hours unless it has been a couple of days since it hatched then may take a bit longer.
