Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[keepmumsane]

Ok, Swimmer has straddle legs, ive seen photos where people tape them to help them strengthen the tendons. When do you do that? With medical tape? Squeaker keeps pecking her too, so I put a papee cup rim around her, reckon she'll over heat fast though. You folk are whizzes at fix ups, any suggestions?

the best luck i have had is vet wrap, make it about one eighth wide and plenty long to work with. it sticks to itself and not as hard to remove do a couple wraps around one lower leg make sure not to tight to cut circulation off , leave a little more space than should inbetween the legs and then wrap the other leg. it should be above the ankle and below the knee.you will have to be careful around the water until it gets balance. i also take a wash cloth and roll it up long ways and tape the ends together to put the baby in.

Moose got some outside time today. He really liked it! He seemed frustrated that he wasn't big and strong enough to pull the clover up and eat it, lol. He sun bathed and had an overall great time.
