We were using puppy pads and a sprinkle of pine shavings and as a result we noticed a chick just sitting unable to walk in the brooder.

    Spraddled legs and curled foot?

    hi there I have a chick who was in his shell for 40hrs after pipping. I noticed he has a curled foot, I’ve made a boot for both feet as I notice his other foot looks a bit wonky maybe. Before this I put a brace on him for spraddled feet, but figured he won’t need that brace if his feet are...

    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...

    Worsening Spraddle leg despite a lot of effort?

    Hi. New to posting but I read all the time. We're experienced chicken owners & agreed to take some chicks from my youngest kindergarten class ('agreed' as in no one wanted them).
