Should I help baby chick hatch?

[SchruteFarms]

What are you doing got the curly toes?
It could be due to the hatch or vitamin deficiency (riboflavin), try giving it some Nutri Drench or baby vitamin = PolyVisol (no iron) 1 drop on the side of it's beak 3x day. You can also tape it's toes straight with Vet Wrap.

I started Nutridrench right away and vet wrapped the foot. She kicked it off and I attempted to put another on but need my husband to help. It has one toe that curls up and one that curls down, both are difficult to get straight and I don’t want to push too hard and injure it. Hoping the Nutridrench helps!

I use masking tape or that paper-fabric-like medical tape.

I’m going to try this tape instead of vet wrap.. I think it’ll work better! Thank you!

Congrats!!

P.s. It's ok to turn the light off for a second for a pic.

Nutri Drench is good & that tape should work. I've used the adhesive part of a band aid, learned if it's hard to remove from our skin, it's harder on the chick's.

That gave me a good laugh! I didn’t even think to turn off the light!
Two more hatched! I’ll get a non red picture!

Update: here are the 10 sweet babies! They are doing well, and as soon as they hit a week, I will put them in bigger brooder with chicks that are 2 weeks older.
AND, I remembered to turn off the light when I took the picture so you can see their cuteness better!

Thank you all for your help!!
