Timmy's Birth Defects

[Bonesandoscar]

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding one of the hatchlings, who obviously has a birth defect. Like his older sibling (who had to be put out of his misery), when he was harched he had a small green substace on the shell. He hatched out on his own, but took many hours to stand and struggled at eating and walking. Now he's hardly moving and tossing his head. Any idea whats happening?

I'm sorry to hear about that.

It sounds like he got an infection in his egg sac and is suffering neurological symptoms. We had to put down a chick with similar symptoms, the partial paralysis, neck problems, ect.

I hope the others remain healthy and grow well. Best of luck!
