What's wrong with its legs?

[shelleyd2008]

I had only one of my golden lakenvelder eggs hatch yesterday morning. This chick is still walking on its 'elbows'? Like they do when they first hatch? What's up with its legs? They don't look twisted or anything, but it won't stand up right!

awh that sucks! If it was me, I'd do birdy therapy on him and set him up and make him walk on his legs, and even help bend them and such for him to help them get exercised.

good luck with him!

ooh poor baby!

I had that happen too and the chick got over it after a few days.
