I went to check on my turkey and her adopted babies, and my week old s.l. wyandotte chick was laying there with a broken leg. Does anyone have any ideas how to splint her leg its broken where it meets her body. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
Do you see an actual break? It might just need some Sav A Chick or some type of extra vitamin supplement. Some of the young ones appear lame because they have a vitamin deficiency.
 
Yeah its broken. I can see where its broke its up where her leg meets body and I don't know how to splint it because there's no room to get tape on the top side of break. Ideas?
 
I culled her. It was at her hip and couldn't see it healing properly.
