it could be not enough heat in incubator. or they say a chick should not be helped out of an egg because the legs get strong as they push off the shell. I had a chick with a bad leg, but by 2 weeks it fixed it's self.

A couple of the chicks that hatched just before Christmas have crooked toes. What causes the chicks toes to turn? I examined them closely, looking for any deformities and crooked toes in particular a couple days after hatching. Last night was the first time I had noticed it, but I've been really busy the past week and half and could have just overlooked it till now. They're nine weeks old now. They've been in a heated brooder, fed 18% protein chick starter/grower. I've given them Durvet's vitamins and electrolytes in their water twice. I've read it's due to incubator conditions, but they didn't have it when they came out of the incubator.
I'm sorry but he doesn't look like a Swedish Flower at all to me. Not only is the lack of flowering an indicator, but his body shape and comb shape are not indicative of a Swede. I'm so sorry!Hey guys! a gal friend raises SFH
her hens are lovely. she gave me a SFH egg to hatch and he came out chipmunky
the upper chick in this pic. She also gave me the other eggs which are Isbars.
As he got older his feathers had a few flowers just on the tips...
now he doesn't show any flowers, I know he is the same chick. My lady friend needed another SFH roo but is deciding not to use this one she wants me to hang on to it but I don't know if he is soup or not. did anyone else have this happen with the chipmunk ones. I kinda want to go another direction my self.
