Having trouble treating splayed leg

Put the bandaid back on to her feet and leave it for 3-4 days. It will have to learn to stand with it's legs together even if it flips over. Else you know what will have to happen. Ideally, if one ends up with a splayed leg, tape from day one on as they get older, their ability to correct decreases.

 

One of my chicks that hatched in Sept. had spraddle legs. I cut a 3/4" bandaid in half and wrapped each side around its legs. I kept it there until it fell off on its own. You can't even tell which one it was now.

My chick had a hard time standing and flipped over and fell over, sometimes walking too. After a day of two of this, my little guy was running around like nothing ever happened.

 

One of my button quail I that just hatched out on the weekend had splayed legs bad. I tried the band-aid thing but it had it off by the time I got home. So I went and took the paper towels out of the brooder and laid a old bath towel down instead. It took it a couple days but this morning I can't tell which one it was. So I would try the band-aid and maybe put a hand towel or bath towel down to help it get a grip when walking. Good Luck.

 

I have found vet wrap works the best expecially if they have the feathers on their legs. Vet wrap should be at your livestock supply store. Or places like WalMart or Drug stores have something like it in the first aid section. It looks like light weight ace bandage only it is self sticking.

It stays on for several days well. I had no luck with the bandaids or other methods. They were off as soon as I set the chick down.
