Re: [CHICKENS-101] Funny chick feet

 

In my experience Carol, curled toe chicks can live, but they don't thrive :-(

Well, my last hatching wasn't perfect after all.
One chick had spraddle legs so I used a piece of bandaid to help as seen on the internet. Now, a day later, I have 2 perfectly healthy looking chicks with bumb feet; they can't open their toes normally.

It was miserable waiting for the last eggs to hatch as the incubator was filthy from the other's that had hatched the prior day. Could this have caused a problem? Is there anything I can do or just hope they grow out of it? (or die)
Thanks
