Good point I will nurse on them asap. When could I expect to be able to keep them outside and not use a lamp?

If you search BYC there are several effective ways to splint or bandage the legs of chicks with splayed legs. If you get on it in time they can fully recover.I had the same problem when I first started and most of the time they won't survive because they can't get their footing to eat and drink. I built nursery cages and put fine mesh wire in the bottom of the cage and they learn to walk pretty fast. The wire I use isn't screen door wire but the smallest openings possible so their feet doesn't go thru it. Hope this helps. Jay
