Help with chick's foot

[thecatumbrella]

I didn't think about that with pieces of hay sticking out every which way and being kicked around, it might be especially difficult for curly toe chick to get around.

I think a large fowl chick might be okay, but my bantams were super awkward until about 5 days old.

@thecatumbrella @coach723 @TOMTE Will something like this work? A bit busy and only kind of tape I found around my house (it's not super sticky or anything). As for the hay part, I've been watching the chick and it's walking around fine with a bit of a stumble. But it can get from one end to the other.

Looks like it. You can also use the ends of bandaids, cut off the pad in the middle. If the ankle still rolls, you may have to try to splint that higher up to stabilize it as well. If not, then just taping the toes should be ok.

Looks good to me!
