You are welcome, make some shoes and update us on how it works.

how long with it take to fix this, and his leg is kinda turned in too

 

[fancbrd4me02]

It's hard to say. Usually the sooner after they hatch, the easier it is to fix the problem. You will probably just have to try it for a few days, and then take off the shoes and see if it was effective. Your goal at this point is to get that chick mobile. A chicken that can't move around is challenging to keep clean, safe or healthy. Have you put the shoes on? Try putting on the shoes and see if the leg improves.

I just had a batch of chicks that I had three that couldn't stand. After almost a week the two that made it are now standing & walking. One you almost can't tell & the other seems pigeon toed. Both of the remaining ones had to have a shoe put on to straighten toes. I use a piece of posterboard that I reinforced with ducktape. I use strips of bandaids to tape the foot & toes because if you don't secure the toes well they will pull out of it. Some toes were taped down with one piece &then using another strip to secure the next toe.

I wish I had taken pic's but I didn't.
