Meet Sir-sleep-alot

Day 8 some food and water has gone missing. I am suspecting he's had somethng to eat
This is him sleeping last night - I was debating culling him but he could still make it

According to a good article on the subject most professionals would cull at the first sight of curled toes this is true but I am a back yard chicken keeper so as such there is more support here and the article says he can heal without splints (which he just won't keep on)

So fingers still crossed and I have a glitter of hope for the first time.

I'm wishing you luck. I agree with not culling him if he seems to be making improvements

If you think that you can offer the care needed then go for it! Good luck to the both of you.
It looks like he has splayed legs. Have you tried putting a rubber band around it? Do you think he could walk?

Glad to hear your little one obviously makes progress (the missing water and food)
I'm sorry I can't be of any help about the leg problem.
It's awesome how you two fight for his life, I'm rooting for both of you
How is he today?

Thinking often of you and your little Sir-sleep-alot
How is he doing?
