I have a very small pair of sidecutters that I use to cut the tape off,it's only about 3" long,,shipping-packing tape is goood stuff,,,if you cut it between the toes as far back as possible,then cut up farther until your one side is free,,90% of the battle is won.If tomooow you see the tape loose or coming off,,re-apply it again,it's cheep.If the toe can be wrapped twice so it is arrow straight with the tape on it,,give it 2 days and remove it and watch if the toe stays straight as it should,if not go at it again for another day.Using pipe cleaners,cardboard formations all require too much "fitting",,tape,,one size fits all.Here is a pic of the sidecutters I use to cut the tape off with,,so far this year,only had to tape 2 chicks,,both 1 toe issues was all,,2 days they was 100%.

Hello Minxfox,
Hey! How are the babies? and where are the pictures?
(here I am asking again, sorry to be a pest...but now that I've gotten to know your peas I want to see the kids!)

I need to get photos of the peachicks...I haven't been taking many photos recently. About every day I have been doing yard work making the yard look nice and sometimes fixing the pen too. It is very busy around here. The chicks are doing well although not all of them made it....The one with the very bad foot was just too weak and one peachick died while I was gone on a trip so I don't know how it died...My parents were taking care of them when I was gone.

Ice did hatch out 4 chicks but something happened to one of them. I think it got out of the pen and was eaten by something. The other three are doing really well though. Damsel is on about six eggs and I can't wait for them to hatch!
