Splash maran not able to walk right.

It may not do the trick.

Did you get the nutridrench?
I'd try that, a couple drops a day for a week, before giving up.

I didn't. I can grab some next time I'm out. Will she ever be okay? I hope I didnt cause it! Will sunshine help?

It's hard to know what 'caused' it.
Could be incubation issues, genetics, parents nutrition,
some are just wonky and nothing will fix it.
Where did you get the chicks?

I got them from Meyer Hatchery. I am not sure she is getting better. Is it mean to let her live a life that she can barely walk without wobbling. The rest are getting very active. She gets stepped on.

I would not allow a chick that couldn't walk, eat, drink on it's own to live.

Alright. She moves to eat and such, she just doesnt move a lot. I guess I will give her a week and see if the nutridrench helps

I took them all out for 15 minuets today because it was sunny. She is walking a lot more and not sitting down to rest near as much. She doesn't fly most of the time, unlike the rest but I figure she doesn't want to use a ton of her energy.

Walking is first, then flying
Do her legs seem to be working correctly?

I think so. She looks like she is trying to walk lighter at times, like barely putting weight on them.

She flew today!! She stands up for longer periods of time!!

The only problem is, the rest are picking her feet feathers now. We have one other chick that had feathered feet but they leave her feet alone! What can I do about that?
