Help, First time baby chicks

[Rachel28]

Yes, babies of all kinds have many demands! And since they need help to do things, like keeping warm in this case, they really let you know it.

There was a thread on BYC in the past month or so about someone in a similar situation. Not sure if you have searched this forum or the Emegency/disease forum, but that might give you other threads to read, if you are interested.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. Fingers crossed.

I had a chick like this a couple of years ago and I took it to an avian vet who put it's legs together (like you did with the band aid) and said that they had a couple of chicks like this before and most of them survive. They said to make sure he's still eating and drinking. Unfortunately mine didn't survive but there is still a bit of hope for your little guy. You have done all you can and now its up to the chick to see if it will get any better .

Thanks, fingers crossed.

Hi all, great news, after lots of tlc the little chick is standing, walking and eating on her own. Still small but doing great!
