    Chick with leg issues/is there a chance it can adapt?

    I've previously posted about a chick I brought home with leg issues. It turned out to be a slipped tendon and despite my best efforts it could not be corrected. However, she is now almost a year old and aside from her messed up leg she is overall a healthy and happy chicken. She lays eggs, roams...

    Baby chick with leg issue

    Help! The second chick that my hen hatched has a leg issue and I’m not sure how to treat. FYI I am not going to cull the chick. It looks very healthy, is just over 24 hours old. It was stuck in the shell over 24 hours so I removed some shell during the hatching process and let the hen do the...

    Two week old chick with dislocated hip?

    I have a two week old chick that I have been doing everything I can think of for. I’ve been reading so many other posts but figured I should just write my own. For context my father passed away in November and he had a flock of chickens that needed rehoming so me and my siblings took them on. We...

    Baby Chick with Feet Issues

    Hi! We have a baby chick that seems to have some sort of leg issue. When my husband brought her home we noticed she wasn’t putting weight on the one foot. We’ve had her for a week and it hasn’t gotten better. She may be even more wobbly than before but she’s eating and drinking. I wouldn’t let...

    1 day old chick - splay leg or something else

    I have a day old chick who doesn't stand just scoots and flap about on it's tummy. Is this splay leg or could it be something else - one of it's feet seems a bit twisted. It hatched by itself.

    Day old chick can’t walk - legs are forward *help!*

    I’ve had chickens for 6 years and have raised lots of chicks. Have dealt with spraddle leg before but this doesn’t appear to be the same. This bantam Cochin just hatched last night and had appeared fine in the incubator the first few hours. Then progressively “her” little legs would only go out...

    Chick only standing on one leg, has trouble walking.

    When we took my chick out of the incubator one of her legs seemed to sit oddly. When she walked she would bend the bad leg leaning on the knee, and it would jut out a bit. We put a hobble on tying her legs together to help bring the leg back in. It seemed to improve a bit the 1st day but not...

    Chick cant bend leg

    Chick hatches on Wednesday. Was in large group. I took her today to help her not get trampled. She looks ok but wont bend leg. Can hop a bit. Didnt note any discoloration or bruising. Doubt a splint will work. Any ideas? Please? I dont plan on giving up on her.
