2 day keet splayed legs + chick just hatched advise

[C Siena]

If it is walking normal, I would not tape its legs.

It often only takes a couple of days to cure splay leg in a keet.

Keets can be very protective and caring for each other. Like most birds they imprint easily. When in the brooder I have not seen them to be aggressive at all. That doesn't really happen until later when they make up for their lack of aggression in a big hurry.

People have put a feather duster in the brooder . Little ones like to crawl into the feathers like they would crawl under a hen.

Some species are much more aggressive than others are. I have seen very young chicks square off into their battles. At that age it usually isn't any more than chest bumping.

As far as "pecking at the keet's face", it is not uncommon for little ones to peck at another little one's beak area and pick off and eat any food specks that might be there.

Thank you Thank you! It only took 2 days!
I replace the stuffed animal in the larger box and look for the feather duster.
I wish I could give you multiple Likes. You are helpful and generous with your time to assist.
