Kevin,

I always leave the babies to work out their foot issues alone. To me, knowing how delicate their feet are, I am very reluctant to mess with them. Personally, I guess if you must do something, I'l get a fat McDonalds staw, cut it to the right length, and split it up the middle in one staright line. I'd slip that over their leg (with new opening) than duck tape it closed, but with room for circulation. No more bends, and it'll just need untapped and adjusted every few days. Do you have a pic? I'd feel better giving advice with a pic.

We sold 'em, and the one i kept got eaten

So we got a new one.

Well, on BYH I'm doing a breed page (yay) so I'm e-mailing mammoth donkey breeders for more info, and some not copywrighted pictures. Oh, and I can't laugh at the person cause I'm e-mailing them for pic's and info. Wow, the internet has every about a fly but NOOOO the have NOTHING on mammoth donkey's!

Oh and I also get to do the friesian page.

Well, today i feel like cr@p. I have a stuffy nose (HATE THEM!) and my legs are sooo sore from NOTHING! I did NOTHING to make them sore!

Oh, and my sister flipped my moms fourwheeler which is too big for my MOM, so its like 800lb +, and she has a hairline fracture and will be in pain for WEEKS and won't be able to go on the rides in TX when we go on vacation

Oh, and I also have been BORED, and wish school had never ended!!! Wow, I'm going crazy aren't I?

Oh and I HOPE to be able to get some silkies & frizzle cochins to make some frilkies and sizzles !!

That is PERFECT! I'm so using that!

I can't seem to take good pictures with this guy but one leg is normal now. The other goes backwards quite a few degrees EXACTLY at the joint

What did you do the first time? A joint issue is more complex than a bone structure issue. How they lay in the egg can effect them, but most self correct w/i the week after hatch. Joint issues are different. In your case, I guess I'd think about a very tiny splint - think cut up toothpicks and 1/4" stirps of medical tape. Stabalize that joint right away. If you can just keep it from bending forward or back, even if the knee heals frooze straght, life can go on without stress and trauma. I'd say 7 -10 days of immobilization to start. Then, very slowly allow joint motion, but only for limited amounts of time until you know if the joint and tendons are stable now.
