Curled up chick toes

[Lynds]

Thankyou very much for your reply. I wish I'd seen it earlier as I went with the plaster but this would have been much better. The plasters got really stuck so it took a long time of soaking and slowly peeling to get them off his tiny little toes. I'm trying to correct his splayed legs too, now that his feet are sorted. Im using butterfly stitches because he's so tiny but if you could recommend anything also that would be great.
Thanks again
Lyndsey

Tape used is a paper like first aid tape.

Hi I was wondering if you try to straighten toes first then legs or both at same time? My wee one has just hatched and I can see I need to do something x

Okay, well give it 24 hours to fluff up, and make sure it fluffs up on a no slip surface. Do not use paper towels, or anything too slippery.

Give it 24 hours, and you might not need to do anything.

I've had a jubilee orp hatch today. It was an assisted hatch as it had been stuck to the membrane in the shell. The chick has curled feet like the one in the photo by ScottishKate. I made some little splints for its feet. How long do you leave them on?
