Yes I've read about it here and on other website. I don't have confidence in myself to wring its neck. Or cut its head off I feel like I will fumble and leave it suffering.

So I have another post about chicks not being able to walk. Well I tried, I got her walking and then she stoped walking again I think she is just deformed and I think I need to put her down. I have been reading about the baking soda and vinegar method. I am to much of a wimp to use the sissisor...

So will the baking soda and vinegar method work on a 6 week old chick. Safely and quickly.....?

So I left orange in splints for about another 30 hrs and took her out and she has improved even more this second time around. She can hold her self up for longer periods of time while she eats drinks and she even tries to run around now. I also hobbled her when I took her out the splints and...

O yes and little orange progress was like in the video it stayed basically the same , a few steps and can hold up right for a moment but then shed lay back down. Grey has improved is no longer wobbly.just has a little hop when she's speeding around.

So update, I did put orange back in splints last night, so I figure I will take her out tomorrow for a day. Little grey is still using both feet on the ground and is running jumping everything. She holds it up for a sec when she wakes then stretches the leg back then she's pretty good in fact...

Splints***

Any Opinions on what else I should do?? Keep splinters or ?????

Hey guys I splinted them and put them in slings they have been in them for about 34 hrs I unwrapped them to rewrap them and check out the progress so far. But my question is should I rewrap them still?what do you all think ?grey is doing good. But orange has made improvment to but I think may...

She does not have pasty butt she is just wobbling around and it sticks to her. I think a sling might be the next move but need to figure out the real issue I don't want to keep mistreating. I have been taking them out and doing leg stretches. In hopes to stretch that tendon also.hopefully it helps.

Ok so I layed the chick in my hand, back in my palm and then grab it by the thighs and started to move my palm away and she tried to do a pull up kinda like. So did I do this kinda correct or did I do it wrong? I'm starting to think it is tendon or possibly deformed joints. I'm not 100% but I...

Is s there a video of this somewhere I can watch, I'm a little confused as to the method.

Took hobbles off, grey chick seem to have full motion front stretched to a back stretch even pulled her leg away from me. And did not chirp. But upon further looking I believe I see the tendon running to the inside of her hock right before the hock, is this a slipped tendon? Should it be running...

If needed I can take hobbles off and video. But its about the same movement the orange chick just has her legs out to sides a little more
