Curled up chick toes
Thankyou very much for your reply. I wish I'd seen it earlier as I went with the plaster but this would have been much better. The plasters got really stuck so it took a long time of soaking and slowly peeling to get them off his tiny little toes. I'm trying to correct his splayed legs too, now...- Lynds

Curled up chick toes
Hi All Thanks for your replies. I didn't think anyone had replied (must check my settings). The chick is a Silkie so he's a tiny little dude. Well I got those material type plasters the next day and put them on, splaying his toes. Took them off today and it worked! The outer toes were curled...- Lynds

Curled up chick toes
Hi I have just had a chick hatched today that has the outer toe/claws curled under his feet when he's walking. I saw a video on YouTube saying to stick a bandaid on his spread foot and closing it over the top, training the bird to walk on it. Can anyone recommend this? Thanks in advance- Lynds

Where do chickens like to be pet?
Hi. I have 5 silkie chicks ranging from 10 days to 1 day old and none of them like their backs being smoothed. They all love a gentle belly rub though. Even when they're anxious to get back to the others, they calm right down and nod off as soon as their bellies are smoothed :cd- Lynds
