They are definitely suicidal Duckwing.. ..i have even had them drown them self's with the pebbles in the water..i usually leave the pebbles in for five day's while they are in that brooder and when i move them to a bigger place i use proper water feeder's without pebbles..
The splayed leg's can indeed be fixed on some occasion's but when im hatching so many i find it too time consuming messing about banding the leg's together so i just dispatch them ASAP and give them to the hawk..
