Cleaner, safer and healthier: The new norm for meat and poultry plants in Southeast Asia

Splayed legs in chicks is a condition that occurs in newly hatched chicks. It is caused by a weakness or injury in the tendons of the feet and legs. When evident at hatch, the causes may be due to a poor chick position inside the egg or an improper incubator temperature.The most common cause for day-old chicks is when a brooder floor is too slippery and the young baby chick's legs slip, causing tendon injury in the legs.Splayed legs can involve one leg, although typically it affects both, and causing them to extend outward to the sides of the chick's body. The severity ranges from mild to severe, and often may take a couple of weeks until it becomes obvious.
