We jus got our first 3 chicks yesterday. One of them has a moderate splayed leg. I looked up a way to fix this, because it seemed less painful than the band aid way.
the second photo was of her yesterday, shortly after we applied the rubber band/straw. This worked well, and the next morning she is doing better. The only problem with this was that this is the closest size of rubber band that we can find to fit is slightly too big. We have to keep re-applying it, and she hates it. Does anyone have any suggestions? The chick still has a slight straddle leg, and has formed the odd habit of sleeping like this:
I am worried for her, because sometimes her leg will be splayed, and sometimes she is fine. The treatment that we used was supposed to work after 24 hours, and we put it on last night. It is the next morning now. Even with the slight disability, my little girl is still at the top of the pecking order.
Any ideas? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
