spraddle

This baby hatched with 4 legs. The two extra in the back are not functional. Also seems to have splayed leg. I’ve made a hobble with a band aid and hoping for the best. I’ve been dipping her beak every hour and she’s drinking enthusiastically, not interested in food yet. I’m exhausted, like I...

Last night, DH brought home four of the most adorable little French Wheaten Marans chicks, to add to the three Bielefelder and two SLW chicks he brought home the night before. (Whoops!) He didn't really have the opportunity to pick them, the kid just grabbed four yellow chicks and put them in...

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...

I have a silkie chick that hatched about 2 days ago. she hatched a couple days earlier than expected. When we put her in the broader I noticed she had straddle leg and couldn't walk. I made a brace for her when I noticed her issue. The brace I made was like the one from the chicken chick...
