Hey guys I have an issue and I have a thread in the emergency forum but I wanted to ask you all do you think this is a vitamin deficiency. This little silkie was walking fine and then started doing this. . . .

Believe it or not..it will be fine! Don't do anything, well, keep giving it tiny..tiny..drops of the electrolytes, and I like making it very weak..and I mean, tiny drops!...three times a day.. ...I call it the paddle walk. Watch it, by morning, bet you will see those legs going where they belong. Some just start out doing what I call the paddle walk. The little legs look like they are even, no need for the bandaid.... :) Let us know. :)

I am just so confused because she was walking fine and then all of a sudden started doing this and won't stop. I appreciate you so much I'll try to calm down and let her be until morning. Thanks again!

Yep, just make sure the others aren't picking on her little paddles..lol..if so, then go with a small glass, with a paper towel to keep her upright and not slide around. I haven't had a whole lot, but a few through the yrs. They figure it out.

Those legs..are NOT spraddled. They look great.

yeah she has about 10 ends of the color really small and beautiful but Dutch Bantam or Old English game fowl I just don't know. what colors of legs mean what?

Dutch bantams have slate colored legs (which I believe the OEGB's have yellow). also, they have a white earlobe (which as I read, are unique to dutch bantams...)
 
I agree with Sambi---regular eggs 25-30 percent humidity for me and 65+ at hatch. If they are thick shelled like Marans, no water really at all....if they are teeny like bantam eggs then I up it to about 40 until hatch. Been working great!
 
I am so glad to hear that others have been doing the "dry" hatches at 30%! I have been keeping my humidity in the 30's. Tomorrow is lockdown and I need to get it up, though. I have an idea I shall implement in the a.m.....
