Thanks for the recipe. The chick died shortly after this. Another just now died. I have 2 more left hoping they survive now.

Luckily no one is bothering it as of yet. I'll attempt the egg yolk. I think it CAN eat, just doesn't want to or too weak maybe.

This chick was doing fine until I noticed yesterday it had a hard time eating. Just didn't have the gusto that it had before. There are 4 chicks all together currently indoors with a supplemental heat lamp during the nights. Various foods including meal worms and larvae, a combination of...

UPDATE #2: Thank you so much again! This chick is running around like nothing ever happened. I can't hardly believe it. I nearly culled her. She does have two large bumps when you feel her tibia. I assume that's where the body put new bone down to heal the break. I tried to attach a...

I'll check this link out as soon as I can! I have her in a sling for now and need to feed my toddler then work, so she will stay in the sling for at least a day at this point. Thank you for the link! It looks like good info!

Ok, I took the thing off I made a couple of days ago and made her a sling. Thanks for the suggestion! Her leg still just dangles. I'm hoping it's not something more. With the leg dangling, would you think things would be in alignment to heal up?

So, the bone that is broken in my chick is the long bone above that one (Tibiotarsus). Not the bone attached to the foot. Do you have a pic like this for that bone?

On Saturday early afternoon, one of our chicks had a little accident (can explain if needed) and we are pretty sure she broke her tibia. I don't think it's broken in half but we can definitely feel something different inside that leg from the other good leg. She does not use her leg or foot at...
