Am I crazy for trying to fix this or not. Its leg is turned. I don't know if its splayed or deformed or what?

Looks like splayed legs and curled toes but I am not quite sure. It's worth a try to make a splint for the legs and wrap the toes.

seems worth a try. I had good luck recently using a bandaid hobble on a chick that had both legs dragging behind it.  Kept the bandaid on until it fell off on it's own. good luck fl.gif

This chick had to be culled. It only had one eye it could open and wasn't able to stand with its side being twisted too. So I lost my Silkie. :(

Oh BBAcres I am so sorry to hear you had to cull this little one but sounds like you did the right, humane thing.
