Hatching
I have 27 baby chicks, 22 are about two weeks old now and 5 are about a week old. 3 days ago one of the chicks (1 of 12 Buff Orpingtons) suddenly couldnt walk? Like it waddles and just falls over. I moved her to a separate brooder and she eats, drinks and poops fine. Today, 6 more Buff Orpington chicks are doing the same, can't walk and they chill on their sides.
I thought it was spraddle legs, hence the title, but their legs seem fine, some are curling their toes but then they straighten them out again. I am really confused about how to help them.
The chicks are all from efowl.com and so far only the Buff Orpingtons are getting this way....
