Peachick with curled toes.

[Max0815]

How do I get him or her to eat and drink?, and he struggles so much that I can't get the bandaid correctly on, and he knuckles are bent the wrong way, it seems, so how do I help that?

@casportpony has a good thread on tube-feeding, if nothing else will work. Let me see if I can find it...

I'm not sure if you can do an SQ injection with vitamins, but as a last resort...

Will the chick learn to feed itself if I tube feed it?

Curled toes in peachicks are very common with artificially incubated peachicks and are easilly corrected with taping. Let me go find some pictures.

Yes, they will learn to eat on their own.

Can you post some pictures of you chick?

Here is its foot, and it doesn't look good.

After 2 hours, it still cannot stand on its own, and it is very weak.

You need to get the whole foot on the tape. Can you post a picture of the whole chick?
