Chick with splay leg and curled toes, plus one foot turned a bit sideways.

[Abigail Joanna]

I have the bandages on for splay and curled, but improvised and put a bandaid across both feet to keep her feet flat, as one is tilted a bit side to side. I can straighten it by hand fine, but it doesn't stay.
Any tips beside the double taping I did?

Hon, I don’t know that it can be fixed. It sounds like it isn’t going to be able to walk. Add pictures for better help. It might not be as dire as it sounds.

Wow, I took her corrective boots off to take a photo, and her feet are staying level. Any chance her curled toe fixer tape is making her cock her one foot?

Also, she walks decently well, just awkward with the boots for her little toes.

Alright, boot's back on and the foot is twisted once more.View attachment 2119643
Note the left foot is the one crooked.

It says there’s an error seeing the photo.
It is possible she’s twisting her foot out of annoyance or even discomfort if straightening her toes and/or legs hurts.
I am sorry I’m not much help.

I am also dealing with a chick who has splayed legs and curled feet - I just posted about it. Yours sounds like it is in better shape than mine if it is walking. I can’t see the pic either but I will be following to see if you are able to post it.

I hope yours gets better! Are you taping the toes and legs?
Mine had a difficult, long hatch, so I wondered if it would have any early problems.
Also, it's foot isn't twisted, just photographed it mid-turn.

Love what you did with the feet! Thank you for the pics! I did more research and think that mine was due to having slipped tendons - yikes I have now wasted two days trying to deal with splay leg. I have now made mine a chick chair and she’s in it (protesting loudly haha) we shall see. I hope your little one is okay. Keep us posted!

Ooh, do you think it was the floor of something you had her in?

No, I had drawer liner. It was malpositioned in the shell. I am going to give it one more night and see if it can correct itself. If not then I will have my husband euthanize the poor thing.
