Success: Chick walking on hocks

Aw! Do you have any better pics of the cutie? I'd love to try to identify breed.

Poor thing!
What breed?
The legs do look twisted.
Obviously it has some larger issues but vitamins may help bone growth.
Keep doing what you're doing!

Not a cockerel! Was DNA sexed as female

Please share more details! I would love to know what you used them for.

when I hatch chicks I always give them sesame seeds. sometimes some chicks hatch with curly toes or they cannot walk properly (they are weak). sesame seeds helped with curly toes within 24 hours. I had a quail with splayed legs and as it was tiny I could not do anything to help. so I kept adding sesame seeds to their feed and 2 weeks later my little quail was ok. I also add sesame seeds when my pullets start laying or in winter I add sesame seeds and BOSS to keep them warm.

Really? I guarantee you the DNA sexing was incorrect....interesting.

Thank you! Will add to my chicken health notes for future reference!

Doing really well! She will always have a little limp, but she flies, roosts, and loves to play. I’m trying to make a long term plan for special needs Chicken care.
