    Duckling with deformed leg!!

    I have never done a shoe but I got to thinking would it be possible to make the shoe like a "Hi top" you know something to brace the ankle in to aliment with the foot. I don't know if this is very helpful but it is a thought.

    Chick Hatched - Broken Off Top Beak

    how far back is the chick missing the beak if its to far back I fear that the chick may not make it. It will not be easy for it to eat/drink but chicks do sometimes surprise you with the way they adapt to a handicap.

    Duckling with deformed leg!!

    I have a pekin who's foot is bent in words but is able to walk around he is a bit slower than his siblings and the smallest of the bunch but he is a fighter I have not done anything for him as he is on the foot "flat" while he walks. Could you post a image so we can see how bad it is.

    New hatched chick breathing problem

    Thanks for your support. I will see in the next few days if he pull's through but with his issues with walking and not eating/drinking I will have to put him down at the end of this week as I don't like to see them suffer any more than they need to.

    New hatched chick breathing problem

    I just tried some worm water with a Q-tip on his beak whipping around the breathing holes to see if they was clogged and it seamed to help a little.
