bone protruding through foot

[TherryChicken]

When it comes to straightening out it's legs. since they are so tender from the bone n sores. Could i use a cottonly bandage to wrap around it's leg to help straighten it and comfort it's sores?

Probably, but don't wrap too tight and put some antibiotic ointment on it's sores (not the pain relief kind, it's bad for them). You might also search for "chick/chicken sling".

I thought I read That the pain relief ointment like neosporin is ok? I won't do it too tight.. Ok, I look it up too, Thanks

The pain relief ingredient is supposed to be toxic to poultry, but I haven't found anything "official" yet. Still searching...

People give their chickens penicillin from TSC and I believe that has procaine in it, so I'm not sure that an ointment with "caine" in it would be toxic. Better safe than sorry, so I woudn't risk using anything with it.

Ok, well I'll see if we have some without pain reliefe. Better yet I'll see if my mom can pick some up..

The chick pooped/peed on me Idk wich is wich honestly.. It was icky but I was stoked.. First movement since it hatched

 

[TherryChicken]

Ok so the chick still won't eat, we even tried to feed it scrambled eggs, but is still drinking pedialite. It's in a sling with it's legs wraped and hobbled.. Here are 2 pictures
Loved that fluffy nesting bedding

It look like it's legs and feet are crooked too

Is there a way i can add a correction to help straighten it out and flatten the feet?

Yay and the chick pooped.. Nasty but such good signs for me.. I feel like we're going in the right direction, slowly but surely. The chick acts like it wants something other then pedialite, but won't take anything else. Could I try feeding it non flavored yogurt? It's chirping ALOT but is under a light and I keep trying to offer it pedialite, but acts like it's tired of it. Why is that?
