My neighbor gave my father some eggs for my niece. My niece who is 6 yrs. old wanted to hatch the eggs. Her daddy being the sucker that he is ended up at Tractor Supply and bought an incubator. I gave my niece about 24 more eggs to give her a fighting chance. My little chicken farmer did great...

KittyMomma, just wanted to say thanks for all your help. I got up this morning and the band aid I was using must have been to small because the peep was laying down again. I got a bigger one and when I cam in this evening, everything was just fine.

Just checked on my peep and caught a glimpse of it walking. I thought it was kinda funny watching it take smaller steps than it should, but it's walking.

Yes, it will put weight on the leg and the leg does go to the side. I have checked out the spraddle leg thread and found a link there that had information that I'm using. The peep seems to be doing fine but I guess tomorrow I will be able to tell more. Just worried about it. I love all my little...

I don't think it is dislocated, it doesn't seem to be in any pain and I can move the leg around. The several times I have picked it up I have tucked the leg back underneath it. It's eating and drinking and seems to be able to get up. I hope the band aid trick for the splay leg works.

I just used the thread for splay leg and for now it seems to be doing fine. From what I have saw in the threads, I hope that it is splay leg. I will definitely check for a thread on dislocated legs though. Thank you so much for your help.

It seems to have happened suddenly. I have picked the peep up and gently squeezed the leg. It doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.

I hatched 4 out fo 7 eggs about a week ago. Now I have one peep that seems to have a hurt leg. I don't know what caused it, but this is the way it stays in my brooder box. I also don't know if there is really any thing I can do. I have noticed that when the other peeps happen to step on the leg...

I've been a member here for some time now and have finally taken the time to sit down and introduce myself. My name is Matt. I have 3 Cochin hens, a Mottled Houdan rooster and hen. I had 3 baby cohins, but two of the 3 were killed. My niece (she's 6) successfully incubated some of my eggs the...

I've only really begun with my chickens. My ex-wife had lots of farm animals and after we seperated and I realized how attached I was to them is when I finally got some chickens of my own. My question is I have a silkie hen sitting on cochin and mottled houdan eggs. She has been sitting for...

Just wanted to let everyone know that my hen seems to be doing better. I wasn't able to get by a feed store and pick up anything that any of you have recommended. I know this may be wrong, but I used peroxide and some iodine on her yesterday. I have also noticed she seems to be moving around...

I went and pulled her out of my coop tonight. Tomorrow I will be trying the antibiodics and iodine on her. Probably not goign to wrap the wound unless I absolutely have to. Thanks so much with all the help.

I've noticed lately that my other chickens have been picking at an area on one of my hen's backs. My rooster has been breeding her like crazy. I guess my biggest question is does she have some kind of disease or pests? She also seems to be staying laid up. She moves, but seems to hide which I...
