    Hi! This is my first time raising baby chicks and one of my chicks seems to be having some troubles. I picked her/him up at about a day old. She was super sleepy and wouldn't eat/drink/move.

    Splay leg

    So my daughter is raising khaki Campbell ducklings for her FFA class. We received 16 ducklings a week ago. One emerged as a ‘runt’ this week and a second developed what I believe is splay leg. We segregated the two, adding extra B Complex to their water. I used the vet tape treatment on splay...

    HELP my Turkey poult's leg looks broken!

    One of my 8week old Turkey poult's was fine one day and looked like this. Is this the splay leg that I hear about or is it broken? Is he salvageable? I hate to have to cull him so young. Should I splint it or tape the legs together? I don't think nutrition is the issue. They are getting a 23%...

    13 day old duckling with spraddle leg or pulled muscle?

    One of my 13 day old ducklings just slipped and his left leg seems to be pulling to the side. Should I be worried? It’s not out of its socket or anything, just seems to kinda be sliding out like he’s doing the split with one leg. He’s already a little handicapped so I’m just worried about him...

    Spraddle leg or pulled muscle in 13 day old duckling?

    One of my two ducklings just slipped and now his left leg is kinda sticking out to the side. Did he just pull a muscle and will it go back to normal on its own or should I worry about spraddle leg? I’ve already looked it up and found out how to correct it but I have no clue if it would even work...

    Day old silkie chick - splayed legs

    After a disastrous hatch, with the broody abandoning her eggs right at the crucial moment. I've had one lovely silkie hatch out, but unsurprisingly given the turmoil of her hatching, she has some problems. She has quite a bad case of splayed legs, which hopefully you can make out in the picture...
