Dislocated Hip On a Button Quail Chick!

He can move around and pushes himself around with the other 2 chicks on his knee and sometimes on his foot if he can get a grip on the shavings.( had them on a non slip mat until they were running laps around their 90 gallon brooder box, about 4 days old, then put shaving on top of the mat.) I tried tying his legs together to make a hobble that forces his leg back in but it always falls off and he panics whenever he wears it. He has been like that since he was 3-5 days old. He is now 7 days He is fine other than that tho... Will he grow out of it? Please Somebody answer soon!
Thanks

have you found this site yet? its very good. https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry
i dont know anything about hip dislocation, i would have just guessed splayed leg. but it doesn't look like anything that your bird is going to grow out of.
i'd try the leg hobbles again, but i know how difficult it is.
if nothing works, you'll have to use your best judgement to decide whether to cull or not. i had a silkie chick with a slipped achilles tendon & nothing i tried worked. but, she never seemed to be in pain, and as a 4 month old now, she keeps up with her flock pretty well hopping on one leg.
i hope it works out for you. i was so stressed when my chick was going through her stuff....

I finally found my vet-wrap and i make him little hobbles, he is slowly getting used to them and i think this might work!

oh excellent! hope it works out!
they say to leave the hobbles on longer than you think you need to. i was impatient with mine, and while i don't think it would have helped anyway, being that she had a different problem, i really should have given it longer instead of rushing to take them off to see if it was working.

good luck! animals are really resilient.
