Cheap OH your talking my language. LOL

do you have any Poultry drench? I particually like using Poultry drench with Vitamin B compete, I will put Two to three pills in the water with the poultry drench, this will give him all the vitamins he needs plus his niacin. Vitamin B is the best thing for leg issues.

Even taping the feet can make it hard for them to walk, and it's much harder when you hobble legs and tape feet. When I do both I make them a sling or I have them in a a "nest" for about 24 hours. Here is a sling/chair I think is quite clever.

I have taken the bottom of a Potpourri dish, Wrapped it up with vet wrap, Poked two holes at the top, Put the chick;s legs in the two holes so that they are dangling but the toes can still touch the bottom, and within 24 hours BOOM, they are out of the potpourri dish, legs are as strong as an ox..

 

[Lacrystol]

Yep, I'm doing that right now. But I only have regular tape. I hope that'll work until I go to the store

How's it coming along?????

I bought some chicks that were 7-weeks old. 2 had toes bent inward. One on just one foot, the other had one toe on each foot. Luckily they get along fine. The one with both feet messed up is called "Crooked Toes". She's my best layer!

The toes have to be straight otherwise they will grow with a curb to them.  I know, because I had a chick and I didn't quite get the toes straight, I ended up calling him curly toe.  LOL he could walk just had one toe slightly turned...

So, I put bandages on because it was a bit easier and I had my mom help me keep his toes straight. He's still falling over, a lot and I feel bad because he can't even walk. Is that normal? I don't want him to hurt himself

Were you able to fix them at all?

I'd keep him on soft towels so he doesn't hurt himself.
