Hello. I have 2 chicks that are having serious leg issues.suggestions?! They're about 6 weeks. Both are eating and drinking, pooping, otherwise seem healthy.
Goldie has always had a funny gait. She walks real low and kind of waddled around. She has curled toes, I tried "sandals" with no result. She also has spraddle leg, tried the "bandaid method" with no result, she is now full split and unable to move around without flipping onto her face.
Trombus lost his leg mobility about 2 weeks ago. He got hot and his leg went lame, hasn't regained mobility, now full splits. Can't walk or stand.
I've tries wrapping, splinting, vitamins, electrolytes, poultry cell. No luck.
Any suggetions?!
 
Welcome To BYC

Please post photos of the chicks and their legs.

What do you feed, including treats?

If you have video of how Goldie walks/moves, that would be good. Upload video to YouTube and provide a link.
