Just hatched out 6 chicks yesterday. Of the 6, two have very similar leg issues I am hoping to get help identifying and treating or at least to know that euthanizing is the best option before going that route if need be. One chick has it happening in one leg and the other in both. I originally tried a splayed leg/curled toe treatment but that was not working so I put them in the chick chair assuming it was a tendon issue and attempted to move the tendon back into place and tape. However, I am wondering if there is something else going on that is beyond my understanding as these chicks legs just don't seem to cooperate with any treatment. Even in castings they just don't hang right. Also, on each chick one of there knees is scabby/ bloody. Any ideas and information welcome!!
