We have two baby Cotton Patch that hatched two days after the others, so naturally they are smaller. I thought because they were smaller and younger that their discoordination was normal. But one has such an exaggerated wide stance that it if it flips over - going downhill too fast - it can't flip back over. It really totters back and forth when running to keep up with the others. They are now about a month old. It doesn't seem to get better or worse, just about the same. The other small one has a wide stance but notnesrly as bad. Any ideas what's going on? They were hatched and raisedby the parents and have been on pasture since day 3. They have been supplemented at night with16% breeder pellets.
 
Well yesterday we lost one of the boys because he flipped over in the sun and dehydrated. The other wa flipped over but mostly okay. He's still alive but now he keeps flipping over. What's going on?
