I was worried about it at first, but just before I took that video (when I was trying to put together the stuff for the hobble) I saw Boot jump on the platform like it was nothing and start eating. I can get more chips to pile around the edges, but this platform works well to keep wood chips out...

Here's a video of the chick. Its getting around a LOT better in the last 4-5 hours. I would be worried that it would have a hard time getting up on the feeding platform with a hobble. What do you think?

My mom might have some for her horses. How would I use vet wrap? Are these bands the right size?

I'm thinking about it. I may need to go out to the store and get small hair bands though. I only have large ones.

Well, Boot's boot came off overnight. The foot looks GREAT now!

Turns out, only the left foot needed a shoe. I used painters tape with a bandaid stuck to the bottom for traction. The chick has been dubbed Boot.

The chick is walking more upright today but the toes are still floppy. I think just boots will be fine.

The chick is still in the incubator with a mesh floor. I wasn’t planning on dealing with this until the chick is dry.

I noticed one of my chicks that hatched today has super floppy toes and a wide stance. Does it have splayed legs? I’ll do a splint and a tape booties tomorrow if necessary.
