Silkie hatch today w/ feet problems

And the fact that the chick is at least standing on its own also is a great sign. My fingers are crossed but should be fine.

I had one hatch a couple weeks ago that did the same thing as yours. It was fine after about two days, up and walking normally. Hope the same for your little guy
