This is the best coverage on peachick leg problem! I am over my head trying help my three week old chick! Have tried to rectify splay leg, but looks more complicated than pictured splay leg. I live in Illinois and having great difficulty finding help!!
i like peachicks. Have about elevan peachicks hatched from eggs. They are india blues. One has a slipped tenion and this forum is providing with rays of hope. First tried treating for slayed leg, but finally relized it is more slipped tendon. Think I need to see vet.
Thanks on tip with rooster, we have some rooster that are mean. Daughter bought variety 25 with about half and half. Not good idea. Upside hen are better behaved. Since I have children, it can be a real problem.
Do you have bantams?
Our bantam "Special" jumped into my pickup and was waiting for me to take her to lumber yard. I dont know how you train a chicken to be potty trained in a house. Maybe someone knows how it could be done.
She is friendly and the smallest Bantam we have. My daughter ordered a variety of Bantams from a hatchery. She fits in your hand and stays around for more attention.
