I have this little mess of a chick. S/he hatched late, has curled toes and is stargazing. I picked up some poultry nutri-drench today and gave a few drops this afternoon and again in the evening. I’m not seeing much improvement With the stargazing. I have yet to have a good outcome with a late hatched curled toe chick. What else can I do to save this little pun’kin? Right now it’s sitting in a cut SOLO cup and a vet wrap body sling and chick shoes. I put the chick in my small ‘bator and turned the temp down from incubating temperature.
Here is my set up so far, How am I doing?

So far so good! The Nutri-drench will take some time to work its magic. Love the little wheelchair you have made her :)
Time will tell, please keep us posted.

Is there any suggestions on what/how often to feed/water/drench the chick? How long can it sit in the incubator without free access to food and water and relying on me to feed it one drop at a time? Is just the Nutri-Drench enough? It doesn’t seem like it.
