My hen had her first batch of chicks. There were 8 eggs and they started hatching on Friday. 6 hatched and the 7th started Friday but didn't hatch completely until around evening time on Saturday. It happens to be splayed. I put a band-aid around his little legs to pull them together but he can't seem to get any where. I kept going out and checking on him and he is always alone and this last time he was laying on his back sort of in a hole that the chickens dug out and he couldn't get up. It scared me. It looked like he was shaking. It is very hot outside today, about 93 degrees so I brought him in. I want to try to wait until sometime tomorrow and see if his legs will start standing and allowing him to walk around. My question is will the momma hen take him back if he gets better?
