NEED HELP chick with bad foot!! Pics included

[daisyybrownn]

I have a silkie chick with a bad foot, I have NO CLUE how to fix it. I’ve splinted it but it’s not helped at all.

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

How old is this chick? How long was it splinted? What splint method did you use?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Great to have you in the flock although it’s a shame on the circumstances with your poorly chick. I was going to suggest a method I’ve used successfully before and when I googled pictures I found an article on it; try this, if you haven’t already https://www.mypetchicken.com/backya...-toes-are-all-curled-up-whats-wrong-H293.aspx

I had it bandaided to a piece of cardboard for 2 days. It was hatched I believe 4/4

I’ve already read that!! Did you feed the riboflavin? Did you find that that worked? Someone said it could be a vitamin B deficiency

We are glad you joined our flock.
Jump right in and make yourself at home.
Nutri Drench is a good vitamin product.

I didn’t feed vitamin B, I found the little chick slippers were enough to sort the problem out in a few days. Good luck with yours.
