We finally tried vet wrap and it worked great. Chick is standing up and walking much better. Eating and drinking more too now. Vet wrap was much easier than anything else we tried also.
Thanks. I do believe it is splay leg and am attempting to treat it but whatever we try, bandaid, hairband, etc., it just falls over on its back. Will keep trying. This is the first silkie chick we have had to hatch. Hope it makes it.
We have a four day old silkie chick who is not walking right. Seems that he/she can't keep her legs under her. Drags one leg or the other a lot. Anyone ever seen this before? Maybe she just needs to get stronger. ???
