You say the right leg won't straighten out?

No

 

[Miss Ameraucana]

No

Did the site help from WV?
I wonder if it needs a splint? Think it's broke? Is anyone helping you? PMs?

Yes the Advance has the digital display. Eco has glass thermometer. Advance EX adds the pump.

Here's the comparison chart:

Thanks WV. I got the 20 advance. It's a scratch and dent so we will see how it looks when it gets here. I can return it if I need to. $232 seemed like a good deal for a 20 Advance.

I think it's a slipped tendon and I've tried to reset it but I don't know if it worked. Yes folks sent me to good websites for help.

Sweet deal... I'd have gone for that too, lol...

Well, it sounds like you John Wayned it! Good job! I'm impressed! See? He's in capable hands! We'll say a prayer for him too! He'll get better! Don't be too disheartened, its not a death sentence, he'll maybe have a limp.
Good job officer!
Bet you never thought all that cop training would save a chick's leg. And not the crazy ones!
Keep us posted .

The state of California now concedes that I know how to handle food safely (100%! Yay!) OK, granted, I already knew most of the stuff on the online course--the only thing I didn't know was about the storing things at least 6 inches off the floor...

I don't yet have the licensing to be a cottage food operation--that will probably cost around $150 (my county's info for that isn't online--I'll need to contact a human) so profits from current sales will go towards that. Not that the licensing will make a difference for you guys--technically, once I'm licensed, as someone's OH pointed out elsewhere in internetland, anyone at the other end of a USPS delivery will be paying shipping, spending a silly amount on packing material, and getting gifts of fudge... I'm not exactly strengthening my case here, am I? Abbe, I said nothing

Not that you're health department, anyway...

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.

from your first pics i knew it was slipd tendon, ive had that, made him a cup sling from a stryo cup, but the lil thing still ended up giving up the fight. At this age if you were to put him in a cup sling he might be able to grow out of it, from my understanding, but if it wont reset then its likly he wont ever be able to use that leg again. Wish i could be more help, ill send ip a prayer for the baby.

I think that's a great deal, I think I paid $350 for mine, with the pump, and that was from a teacher that had used it once in a classroom.!

Like Turk, I'm thinking slipped tendon, and mine didn't make it either. Mine showed up before 2 weeks though.

BUT, I know there was a gal that fixed one, and we talked her into writing an article about it so I'll find it.

 

[WVduckchick]

@abbevilleoz there are lots of threads out there about this issue, but I know this gal was able to nurse hers back, so if you want to work with this chick, you might check this one out. She did a nice summary at the end.
Good luck!!
