silkie chick with deformed toes and bum leg.. Need more help

[Gonzo]

I think I found it, the one where they used a small cottage cheese container, and the little lids of 2 liters? Thats where I got the idea for the teacup. Hes just so small! I found another article that had a chick donut in it. you take a washrag, twist it, then coil it to form a donut. I have him it that now, and he seems to like this better, probally cause its soft and cuddly

I checked him a minute ago, and he has his head proped up on the side and he's sleepin' like a baby! My husband stayed up with him last night, so I'm going to sleep out here on the couch so I can hear him if he needs me.. I hope this little guy makes it!

Its so hard not to just fall in love with this little guy!

 

[Elite Silkies]

Yes, that's the one. I just couldn't find it. But, he is content with the way you have him now, then I wouldn't change it. I got my fingers crossed!!

 

[Gonzo]

Me too! Thanks!

thechickengoesRAWR: he was born like that. what do you mean by the line tho?

Well I have silkies, not from that line, and I constantly have babies that hatch out with what seems like backwards joints in their knee. It is not fixable, as the leg does not bend the correct way, actually backwards. All my other nonsilkie chicks come out completely fine, so cant be my incubator. And I have had so many other problems with this line that are genetic. So I was just curious.​

This is off topic but you mentioned Feathers and Fleece. I tried to order from off their website last Friday but I'm now worried whether or not they are legitimate because my Paypal transaction went haywire, their phone number is disconnected and the people at the web address provided on my receipt seem to not know what I'm talking about. Did you order online?

 

[Elite Silkies]

Does the Paypal transaction say the payment went through? I would request the payment be canceled if that is possible. Hopefully, it will not turn out to be a bad experience for you.

 

[herechicky]

Yep, it went through. I filed a dispute with paypal and they'll give me my money back after 11 days if the business doesn't come through so I'm not that worried about the money. I just feel like I should warn people not to buy anything off that site if they are not a real business. Doesn't look like many people on here have ordered from them though.
