Chick with crooked feet and toes

[splashferret]

I was think it was genetics to a while after I got him but im starting to rethink that concerning I poped one of his/hers leg in to place I just can't get it to stay in place

 

[splashferret]

I poped it back in to place right at the knee

Here's a video I took of it

The video won't play, it says that it is private. Maybe you can tape the joint in place?

 

[splashferret]

The video might work now, I have try using a pip cleaner to securing the joint back together but it seems to make him even more unbalance,

 

[mrchicks]

Interesting. Poor little bird. Can you take it to the vet?

 

[splashferret]

No sorry I can't

 

[mrchicks]

You might want to cull that one, the bigger it gets, the harder it will be for the bird.

Chicks with leg and toe deformities may be helped with taping and splints with vet wrap, but all problems are not fixable unfortunately. Here are some links to help you try to help the chick:
