French frogs

[FridayYet]

gonna set the big set on Saturday got the 150 but going to pick through and take the best looking ones by then should have 200.

That's a lot of eggs.

Is there a doctor in the house. I think this little guy has injured his leg in the brooder some how. He's still eating and drink but drags this leg. I've seen him use it a little since I found him hurt. Help!

Yes had been fine. I felt the leg and didn't notice any difference between it and the other one.

Is he moving the feet/toes when you pick him up?

Trying to rule out splay leg or slipped tendon, but those usually hatch that way and are noticeable within the first days. This guy is over a week old, right?

Let me find that leg issues link I like...

Two weeks old

No, foot is limp but then I've seen him perch it on the side of the feeder.

About mid-March. Waiting for some shipped eggs that are supposed to come mid-March.

I hope it heels up. Sorry Oz, that's too bad. I'll back off. These girls are experts in these matters

There is swelling in the joint. The leg one the right is turned out at the joint.

I can straighten out the left leg.

But not the right.

Slipped tendon? I've tried straightening the leg and rubbing the tendon.

You say the right leg won't straighten out?
