This little girl had difficulty hatching out and her feet have been turned under since birth. I don't get too ahead of myself trying to intervene, but she was peeping so vigorously and fully zipped, just couldn't push out. I was gone all that day unexpectedly and when I got there, she had dried out a lot and was stuck. I had to bathe her in warm water to get all the gluey stuff off so she could move.

She is 2 weeks old now. She is lively and eating well, so I want to give her a good chance at life. Now that she is a little bigger and sturdier, I am hoping there is some way I can splint her feet or make little boots for her to straighten them out. Any experience or ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks, I'm going to see if I can get all those extra little fuzzy Silkie toes taped down like this. I'll update if it works out for her!
