Thanks. Been playin with the chicks. They been preenin and peckin and scratchin and stretchin and doing all things chicklish! So fun to watch! So there's the positive. And I know how you all love pics so here they are:

I've been putting off this post. She was so content in her cup overnight. But extremely weak this morning. Gave her the vitamins yesterday. She never was interested in the yolk & I had to force her to drink. Yesterday morn seemed so promising and today was just the opposite. She wasn't...

Oh yea - Don't know what breed she is. A 'designer chick' Quite a mix in the list of possible hens & roos. Any ideas?

I'm so sorry to hear about your chick Farm Chic. We can only do so much and then mother nature takes over. You tried and thats all we can do. I told myself I'd give her a week. Which will make a poor outcome even more difficult. But at least I'll know I did what I could. We don't want them...

Good news this morn. But first off I need to know what polyvisol is and where I can get it. Im assuming its a vitamin? Is it specific for animals? DD should be coming out & could save me a trip to town. Baby is doing surprisingly well! She woke me up at 6 having quite a k-nipchen! Think...

Toasty warm! Tried pulling her leg straight back hoping the tendon would pop in place but she really put up a fuss!! And I was scared of breaking her leg!!! The knees are slightly swollen but not too bad. I have her in a cup now slinged up so her legs are down and she's tolerating it ...sort of!

I've never heard of poly visol. Where do I get this? I know where I can get the scrambled eggs! lol Another trip to town! Aaaargh

Quote: Well that sure sounds like that could be whats going on here. I hope you don't mind I'm borrowing that link to the site that explains it. Thought some people might be interested in knowing whats going on here. http://www.voy.com/194762/ She also used her wings for balance and got...

She's still here. drinking water but not interested in eating anything. But she's only 1 day old so not worried about that. I really like the cup idea. I'm worried about her tipping over tonight and I'm really tired so scared I wouldn't hear her. Was it just a shallow coffee cup like...

Quote: I thought you were new to the coop Gotta update everyone here. Great to see you here!!

So here's what I came up with. She likes sitting in my hand with my finger between her body and her feet. So I took a piece of dowel and wrapped it with some fiberfill for comfort and put this between her body and feet to hold her feet down from her ears. Don't know if this will correct...

OK things are not really looking good. The pad on the bandaid seems too wide for her so I am going to try to improvise something to hold the legs even closer. Her feet are up around her ears still. Just cant get those sea legs under her. I'll see if I have pipe cleaners. Good idea Thanks...

Your pics are great!! I Just took her out of the bator when I got home so haven't given her water or food yet. She just hatched this afternoon. I'll dip her beak before I turn in. A lid with marbles sounds like a good idea. I lost my marbles once and when I found them I made a lamp out of...

I'll try the band aid. I'm cutting as we speak/type! Do you think this could be a severe form of spraddle leg?

Thanks. Checked out the site. The band aid is the splint? This condition didn't develop. She was this way this way fresh from the egg. I watched her hatch!

How do I splint and with what? First hatch here.

I have her separated now in a brooder with a heat lamp. The legs themselves don't seem deformed. Should I try a bandaid around her ankles? Anyone seen anything like this before?

Thanks for the input everyone. No I did not cull but something is definitely not right. She's so healthy otherwise! But she can't stand. Walks on her knees(elbows) with her feet up around her ears and spins around on her fluffy butt! I'll try and get a pic. The others aren't pecking at her...

I think I'm figuring it out. This might be a little closer look. Get me to the church on time!
