Nugget (name suggested by one of my students) responded well to the treatment again last night. I added an extra clove of garlic to the mix and she tucked into her food. Her lower leg looks like it has gained some meat, but the very top part of the leg / shoulder joint is notably different to...

Update on my chick: Last night I gave her a good helping of ground almond, eggshell, and a clove of garlic mixed into her regular feed. I also got hold of some vitamin B pills from the pharmacy that included B2 and B6 amongst others and dissolved one of them into about 1.5 litres of water...

She was still laying, so this chick is almost 1 week older than her siblings.

It was our first and only attempt using the incubator, so the thought of me doing something wrong has been nagging in the back of my mind - all the more reason I want to see her recover. I stopped turning the eggs on day 18 - I ensured the wider end of the eggs were pointing up more than down...

I don't see any signs of external injury to her at all

My chicks condition appears to be worsening and it's painful to watch. My wife and I bandaged the legs as per the photo (we originally used regular bandage and tape, but then replaced it with vetwrap. We've been giving her vitamin B10 and B12 in her water and crushed almond and crushed...

Thank you so much for the reply, I've used a short strip of bandage and bound the legs as per your picture. This is similar to how I'd braced them with the straw, except I had the brace above the knee joint. I'll get more vitamins in the morning as the one I'm using is mainly vitamin B, which...

Hi to everyone, I'm new to the forum, but have been a regular visitor to the site over the past year. We have a few bantam chickens and have had a lot of problems with predators and insects killing off our young (mostly dogs, cats, snakes, and ants - the ants are the most difficult to keep out)...
