My First Lock Down

[Granny Hatchet]

are your temps a little low?

 

[BarredR]

Day 21 I reduced my temps to 97.5 and humidity is at 65%.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

97.5 is too low. i dont even change mine. it stays 99.5 through hatch. i know its recommended to lower it but is it supposed to be by that much?

 

[BarredR]

One of my chicks won't walk and while checking it's leg this is what I find. Anyone know why this would happen or what I can do?

 

[Aacre]

Ouch! Poor baby! Does it not walk at all, or doses it try to hobble on one foot? How do the legs look when sitting upright?

 

[BarredR]

It scoots around and trys to get up but clearly something wrong with one leg. Everything looks normal except this spot on it's upper leg. Even when I pick the chick up it keeps it's leg tucked up.

 

[Aacre]

Could it be a splayed leg? You can use a band aid and bring the two legs at the correct stance. I just had to do this yesterday with one of my chicks.

Aacre, i did yesterday too ! must be something in the air. i use vet wrap cut in a skinny strip because its a bit easier to remove and helps old stiff hands. off the wall question,, is anyone's smiley face missing and everything else that belongs on that line?

Vet wrap! That's the name! I went to store and got some but i never remember the name.
I see everything that's supposed to be there but I'm on mobile view..

I don't think it's splayed leg because it's swollen and red up by it's hip. The other leg looks normal.
