Hi There,
I have a nearly 2 week old Faverolle chick, that was born with both feet having curly toes (incubator troubles i think). Having used the bootie method for most of this time and a hobble early on to help with what appeared to be a mild case of spraddle leg, one of the feet is much better, dont use the bootie anymore, but the other is still got quite the bend in its toes. Have given B vitamins with riboflaven for about 1.5weeks (mostly because a different chick kept falling over and now doesnt!). The chick appears healthy otherwise, full of energy, running around and a bit sassy too!
Questions:
In the pictures below, do you think its curly toe or is there other potential issues? (The foot on right as you look at image)
Should I keep going on the B vitamins?
Is there any physio I could do that could help?
Any thoughts much appreciated!
