Chick Physical Therapy Sling

Well it look like you have everything under controll. Hopefully with you invention she will get better.

the sling looks good but she really needs to be in it a lot more, maybe all the time. you need to keep her off of her hock joints, damage to them is normally what makes it irreversible. you could also make a chick chair out of an old tissue box and a dust mask but the sling looks fine. I made a similar sling from an old sock to keep the chick in it warmer but she preferred the chair. the leg will not heal until the swelling and irritation clear up in the joints. you can also contact the poultry orthopedist http://www.peafowl.org/ARTICLES/1/
good luck and I hope all goes well.
