Thank you so much for that. I actually have some already (for my children) so I'll give him some tonight. Do you know what kind of dosage should be given? I'm moving him into the brooder so the floor isn't slippery and I'll give the wine glass/cup suggestion a go too. Thanks again.

Please help!!! My chick hatched this morning and was completely fine. Walked around, chirping with the others. No problems at all. I checked on them and noticed this one on his tummy with one leg straight out behind. When he tries to weight bare, he falls to the side of the seemingly injured...

So I've given this a go, tried straightening his leg backwards. It just won't straighten though and I'm worried if I push it, it'll break. I also had my thumb and finger on the hock and couldn't really feel any movement. He was chirping a lot too, presumably in pain :( Is this normal? Should I...

That's a good idea, I'll give it a go. Thank you

Thank you so much for replying :) I did consider this, but I don't have a second heat lamp. The only other source of heat I have is the incubator, until I can grab another lamp tomorrow.

Please help! My duckling hatched last night, a few days late. He seems to have a swollen hock joint and he can't straighten his leg at all. When it push it, it goes down a bit and doesn't seem to cause any pain, but it's very stiff. He can't walk, he just kind of hops and shuffles. He also...
