Baby chick born with sprag leg curled toes and one foot turned inward

[Eli1977]

As the thread title sais there is absolutely everything wrong with my new baby chick but ( Blondie is her name) she is the sweetest little thing you ever saw. Very small and very smart. Her and her sister blacky are inseparable. I have helped her with the sprag leg by having her wear a brace I made out of a hair tie and some tape and I put bandaid on her feet to spread out the toes. All worked well and she us a happy bunny well a happy chickie. But the one thing I don't know how to fix is her inward turned foot. Any ideas???

Hi there

It sounds like you have been doing a great job helping Blondie. Here is an article that should help you with the twisted leg ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/leg-foot-and-toe-issues-in-poultry-of-all-ages

Also a Google search of poultry podiatry should bring up some help for you.
Wishing you the very best of luck with her

You've been given some great links. Good luck. I've had several babies turn out well after taping legs and putting booties on those toes.
