Chick with problem legs!

[em530]

Hi everyone I have had some chicks hatch yesterday and throughout the night, one little Pekin has its legs out in front of it, it almost sits behind its hocks with its legs out near its head, I have taped legs as if they were splayed with not much luck as the legs are not to the side but in front, has anyone got any advice/ideas on how I can try and correct the leg position? Any help appreciated thank you

Try giving some chick vitamins such as Poultry Cell (not Nutridrench since it does not contain riboflavin.) Give 1/2 ml daily, and make sue that it can reach food and water. Try a chick chair which can be made from things around your house, to get the chick upright on it's feet. Here are some links to read:

Just thought I would give a quick update, I gave the chick some vitamins, and fashioned some leg splints out of plasters I kept them on for a week changing when they got soiled, the chick is now thriving and doing well, to look at it now you would not know it had anything wrong

Thankyou for your help!!
