I've hatched close to 50 poults this spring and have got all healthy poults until the last 2. In the last 2 days I've had 2 with spayed leg. These eggs were originally under a broody hen that I caught leaving the nest so I stole the eggs and put in the incubator. Could the hen leaving them have caused this or is it a genetic issue? I have 6 hens and like I said I've had no issues until now. I'm trying the cup method to try and save them but this is year one of hatching my own and it just seems odd to suddenly have 2 in 2 days with the same problem.
