Hi
I just hatched 8 chicks on Monday night. All are happy and healthy except one. Wednesday night I noticed spraddle legs. So I segregated him and put on a hair tie brace. I've done cup physio a few times a day but things seem to be getting worse not better. He now seems to have a link in his neck. He won't stand and when he tries he ends up flipped on his side and turns towards the kinked neck. I'm not sure what to do! He's eating and drinking (based on poop in the brooder).
I'm at a loss! I've hatched chicks for years and have never had this issue!
Any help would be great!
