Oh gosh, I hope your peachick recovers!!! I’ve just been treating three splay legs! One with a rubber band with tape wrapped in the middle. I liked the tape better because it’s not so hard and abrasive against the inner shank... The other two were with bandaids cut in half lengthwise. Rubber band baby is doing great - I’d take the band off it I could catch the baby... One bandaid baby is doing great, bandaid is off. Last bandaid baby got the first two devices off (one rubber band, one bandaid) so I reapplied a band aid. It does seem improved but having the band come off early limits progress... Last year, I treated a duckling with vetwrap and that worked great - he got it off in two days and was normal afterwards!

Best of luck that your peachick perks up!!!My cup keet made it out of the cup and seems to be doing ok!!!
I'm so glad to hear your cup chick is doing well and that your splay leg treatments are on the mend as well!! I just got home from picking up some med tape and I'm going to go help out the peachick and cuddle him some more. He already seemed a tad perkier after I held him a while and gave him Nutridrench so I may just plan on doing that on and off throughout the day until I see him doing better on his own. Fortunately, the peachicks are going to live on a friend's homestead and I told her I wanted to wait a bit and make sure they were all healthy so she's not coming down until Thursday and I can always delay her if necessary....hmm, now that I'm thinking about it she's coming from a place that I drove to get hatching eggs in the past...lol, now that's just too tempting.
Best of luck with your peachick, I hope it continues to perk up. Between the goslings and the peachick, you get all of the best cuddling... We are pulling for him!!!
