have tried a little electrolyte in the water?
do you have like a syringe you could use open the beak for a drop or two
or an eye dropper

Does this look okay or should I try something else? The only rubber bands I can find are too big!

Band aids are too sticky. They injure on the way off.

Use a powder coagulant on its bum. Lots of electrolytes and vitamin B!
We fixed one a couple of days ago and he is walking now.
Good luck and I hope our article helps!

In the first pic, he just hadn't absorbed all of his egg yolk before he hatched. Happens sometimes. It's good you didn't mess with him/it and let him absorb it.

It does appear to have splayed legs. I agree with what was said above about electrolytes. If you don't have any, but have gatorade, pedialyte or poweraid on hand, a tiny bit of that would work, too. Stick it's little beak in it just a tiny bit so it knows its there. Babes that don't absorb their yolk the way they should tend to be weaker at first, anyway.

Good luck!

Don't throw away the brace when you are done with it!
Keep it handy. Saves time and effort having one standing by.

If its still having trouble standing you can make it a chick sling! Google chicken sling images to see what I mean.

Sweet as a picnic in air condition!!! Now that she is hand cuffed, you need to make sure she is hydrated. Vitamin B is important but a multivitamin/electrolyte solution works. At first she will sit, then stand. Then walk, then me be happy. Put her on a surface that is not slick. That will prolong the process.
You are a good chick parent. Babysit and post more pics!
You made my grinch heart grow 3 times it's normal size!
Good for you!

Awesome! I would leave it on for at least 3 solid days.
Then monitor the chick closely after removal. I like the non slippery surface! It needs traction for stability. Impressive. They grow so fast right?!
I am tickled pink right now.
Good for you!
Keep up the vitamins and electrolytes!
You are a great chick mother!
