RE: New hatch-splayed leg chick

[ChickNLittle]

Can someone explain what you do with the "band-aids" to try to fix splay leg? A photo would be even better. I have two chicks that may have it, so I"m trying to ready. Thank you!

Nutrition is key in addition to the band aid. I've been given my chicks
a vitamin/electrolyte combo for the first week in their water.

Hand feeding is going to be important as the band aid won't assist the
baby getting around.

Good luck. We've been through many a splay now. Some have happy endings
and some don't.
