    Twisted femur/dislocated hip?

    Hi, just curious how your chick turned out? I have been trying a hobble on. Mine and it can walk but isn't keeping up with the other chick. Mine looks similar to yours so I'm thinking it has a rotated femur. It seems to be at least eating and drinking fine.

    Should I break my broody hen?

    The first two pictures are the disabled chick. It definetly is eating and drinking a lot but is balancing more on the good foot. It got the hobbles off this morning but I put new ones on to see if the disfigured leg can correct any more. Do you think mom will accept it in a few more days if I...

    Should I break my broody hen?

    I appreciate it. So maybe I'll try the cup PT and see if that helps, I really hope something works. She will be a pretty pullet.

    Should I break my broody hen?

    So I do have tape around the legs but am unsure if it was splay or something else. One leg looks bent the wrong way. I have started giving the chick vitamins to treat it also. Not sure if I diagnosed properly, but I'm hoping it's helping.

    What is wrong with my chicks leg?

    Thank you, for now I am trying vitamin B complex and splinting the leg, chicken seems to be in pain. I am hoping that is the best route. I also have chicken vitamins and rx drops

    What is wrong with my chicks leg?

    This is 1 of 2 surviving incubator hatchlings. I am not sure what is wrong with him but I am treating him for spraddle leg. I am not sure what I'm looking at. I had chick with mom but he wasn't walking, just trying to hop in her direction. It seems that the right leg functions normally. Thanks...

    Should I break my broody hen?

    Hello, Looking for some advice on my broody hen. We just hybrid incubated and let her sit on eggs. We originally had 6 eggs, only 2 made it from the batch. I let the early chick live with the broody for a day but I think it has a spraddle leg so I brought it in. It couldn't walk on its own and 1...

    Easter babies

    I have my 1st clutch of eggs from my hens that should hatch any day now. I am hoping they will be successful. 3 are under a broody hen, 1 was zipping, but I didn't hear it this morning. The other 3 are in an incubator.

    Broody sign or no?

    Is the hen flattening herself out over the eggs at night and growling at you? Thats also a good indicator. Mine is about to hatch some and she'll also peck at me when I touch her.
