    How to Fix Slayed Leg Towards the Front

    I have a baby chick that has its legs set like he is doing the splits forward ways instead of sideways. He does not open his front foot and it stays curled in. When we work with his foot it seems to hurt him so we stop. We plan on putting him in a splint thing that’ll bring his legs together...

    This is Miracle when she(or he) was getting better, her feathers fuller and able to stand and starting to be able to eat on her own. She had a rough hatch where you can see her trying to come out of her shell for 24 hours about 2-3 days after the other chicks hatched in the incubator. They...

    Chick with splayed leg??

    Little chick had trouble hatching. He was stuck with the same little pip for over 24h and I had to help him hatch. Well he hatched but can't stand. His legs sort of sway to one side. Is it from being stuck in one position in the egg or the incubator floor? I'm noticing 2/3 times I've used this...

    Splay leg

    Hello. It’s my first time raising chicks. One of them developed splay leg but by the time I realized it she was already very weak from not eating enough. I hand fed her for couple days until she regained some strength and put a splint on her but she is still not walking very much. She can stand...

    Chicken with crooked leg

    I just noticed that one of my young chickens has some sort of leg injury or deformity. I have no idea how it happened or how long it's been like that. It doesn't seem to cause her pain, and it seems like she's figured out how to walk on it. What's wrong with her leg, and what can I do to help her?

    Every couple of hatches I have a chick or two with splayed legs and I've spent a lot of time messing around with leg braces and bands to try to solve. I finally found something that works for me with the fresh hatched chicks, I've tried this on chicks with the typical frog leg splay and also...

    Sipped tendon

    We got baby chicks for the first time, 7 silkies. 6 Was our number but she had one with what she thought was splayed leg and she wanted them to go with siblings. She’s been home here now about 36 hours and I’m convinced this is a slipped tendon, maybe I’m wrong? I am willing to put in the work...

    I Need Answers ASAP

    I need answers for this, and I needed them 3 days ago. I've contacted a few chicken people, Facebook (with a group that probably won't accept my join request, leaving me only to rely on a Silkie Group), Reddit, and called NUMEROUS vets today, with only ONE that sees chickens but is expensive...

    Splayed leg or slipped tendon? Lost cause?

I live in South Texas and we have no chicken vets in my area... I need to know how to fix or provide therapy for these babies...

    Help!! Spraddle leg??

    Hey! I had a black rosecomb chick hatch in the incubator a few days ago but realised she has spraddle leg. I tried to use the elastic band trick but she’s so tiny it didn’t really work. Vet tape kept falling off so I used micropore tape in the end. However, she’s still not putting any...

    Tiny duckling! Anyone else experienced one like this?

    Hey guys! I hatched out 6 ducklings a little over a week ago. 5 Indian runners and one magpie. The runners all hatched ok, within 24 hours of each other. One had an eye issue but otherwise they’re all normal. They’re growing like they should be, exponentially increasing in weight, that kind of...
