chick with leg problem

[charlotteda]

This little girl... hatched Monday am has spraddle but it doesnt really seem to be both legs... one leg is turned out all the way up into the hip area. I dont want to put her down but if there is no hope I dont want to wait. I have her legs taped with a bandaid and that has helped but I cant keep that hip turned inward...

don't be bashful with the tape.

do what ever it takes to align the legs.. the earlier the treatment the more likely it will work..

I hate it when that happens.. I only have about a 50/50 success..

I am getting better at it though..

I had a 2 month old turkey that got beat up really bad from my Tom. It ended up with a club foot.

I made a splint to fit the 3 toes and used duct tape to hold everything together.. after 2 weeks I took it off and the foot is just fine, now..
