Hello,
My mother has hatched ducks before & they were no problem at all. Now then, we had a chick (chicken) the other day (few days old now) he wasn't walking at all. He was just on his belly and moving along with his wings. Now then I read (On Here actually) after typing in the internet ''chick can't walk'' and found out about a thing called Spraddle leg... Now then we tied plaster around his legs, but when we came to change the plaster as it wasn't tight enough, I'm afraid to say we had an accident with the scissors.
Me & my mum were both panicking! We'd cut off the end of his little toe (claw) the small one on the side. NOT the three main ones. Now although we'd cuut it quite a bit, we have bandaged him up.
We're worried because he was bleeding quite a bit. Plus we dont know where to tie his legs for this straddle leg business!!
Poor thing, we just want to help him!
