Hi!
I suddenly find myself with 4 chicks hatched w/in the last week that need corrective 'hobbles' because of spraddled legs.
I'm puzzled because 2 were 'hen-hatched' and 2 were 'bator hatched', and there are 3 different breeds involved.
I have 2 Silkie chicks, a Cochin chick, and a Japanese chick --- hatched with spraddled legs.
I've hatched an occasional chick that needs 'correction', but never 4 in one week.
What might be the reason?
Thanks,
Lisa
