Hi,

Newby here. 1 of 3 buff orph eggs hatched 4.5 hours ago. How long should it take to stand? It took 19 hours from pip to hatch.

It will sit upright, but when it tries to move forward, it falls on its face. Peeps very loud and pecks strong at spots already. It's feet look a bit curled, and mid-leg joints (knees?) sit to side. Don't know what normal at 4.5 hours old is.

Thanks for any suggestions or help you can provide. Sincerely, LTH
