I’m not talking about splayed leg. That’s easily fixed with a day of hobbles. Same with curled toes. I have never been successful at fixing a slipped tendon in chicks.
I have a 48hr old chick that was in hobbles but after looking closer it’s definitely a slipped tendon. When I move the tendon back in place the leg becomes super straight and difficult to bend. But slips back immediately when I let go. It’s a nice strong chick otherwise. I normally just cull slipped tendons and not waste the time trying to feed/care and fix a slipped tendon chick.
