Hello a few of my chicks seem to be having legs problems.I didnt cradle the eggs this time so the chicks spent the first 14 hours after hatching walking on other eggs in my brinsea advance(my stupidity)
Problem 1. four seem to have there legs at a forward angle almost like there knees wont behave and they sit on there tails when there not walking/wattling.( they just seem awkward/different but are otherwise healthy see pic 2 and 4)
Problem 2.I think one of my chicks has splayed legs but this will be my first time dealing with splayed leg problems so im not sure, his legs are splayed to each side and Backwards so he flails on his stomach and back with his legs back and to each side. I habled him a few hours ago which seems to help but he keeps falling forwards with his legs behind his tail. see pics 1 and 3
what should i do
