Naturally hatched w/ mom until mom gave up on her: leg/foot issues

X2. If you can straighten it you might want to try some type of hobble and a shoe to help uncurl the foot. How old is it now? If it's fixable, these types are easier to fix in the first 1-4 days. After that, it's much harder.

I will make something for her legs if I can straighten it. Oh and a shoe. I'll search byc for hobble ideas, thank you.

I know it isn't that easy to do with out help but if you can find a way to post a pic of both legs out side by side?

I'm willing to try. I'll get some help from the hubs here soon to hold her. I do want to compare them!

That link talks about hobbles and may give you some ideas.

Could be tendon damage?

I'll find comparison photos and look at hers, thanks for the idea. I'll search that too, I've got my list started

Oops I forgot age: she's 3 ish days.. I went to bed around midnight friday night and woke up to a dry duckling..so sometime late Friday or early Sat . Hoping we can get it fixed while shes still super young

For a shoe you could try a piece of thin cardboard on the bottom and a piece of tape over the top of the toes. By thin cardboard I mean something like the cardboard box butter comes in.

@WannaBeHillBilly made a hobble for one of his babies - maybe he can post a picture of it?

So far I've grabbed a soda box, shoe box, cardstock , random craft crap I've got in my craft room I'm beginning to pile up anything I can think of to make -shoes -hobble- chair or sling thing if I have too- honestly I'll make anything if I have an excuse to do it
