A couple of my chicks are having difficulty keeping their feet, they stagger about a lot and fall over when they are then pecked by the others. I did have them under a brooder but I think they were cold as they seem much happier with the heat lamp.

Sorry cant help much but it could be the lack of heat as mine where aq bit weak one day when the bulb went off , within an hour of having a new bulb they where running around like nutters

Well after spending most of the day thinking about the best way to dispatch a chick who was unable to even stand, went through tonight to top up food and water and its running about with the others. So glad I gave it a chance, but I wouldn't try them again with the brinsea brooder it's definately not warm enough.
