Chick's long legs

[Kabuye]

Gave Indian kroiler chicken eggs to Ugandan chicken to hatch, one of the chicks has very long legs which cannot support it (its 2 days old now). Can this be rectified?

I would imagine this chick will either not survive or grow out of it. I don't think there is anything you can do at this point. Make sure the chick doesn't have to travel far for food and water.

Good luck with this baby. And welcome aboard BYC!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your chick, hope it recovers. Don't know if they would help your chick but here are a couple of links on treating spraddle leg and some other chick leg problems. http://www.poultryhelp.com/spraddle.html and https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

You might want to thing about getting some turkey grow with 20% + protean as this will help in the growth process
