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

[kyrose]

gonzo&hispeeps :

Ok, I don't think I did the hobbles right! I removed it, and took a band-aid, cut it in half, length wise, and applied it to the leg bone connected to the foot bone, I hope this is right!

It still can't walk or stand, and is raising ten kinds of cane! ANYONE? Please!?

could you by any chance post a pic so we can see how your doing it?​

Can we get a picture?

 

[Gonzo]

I don't think I have the camera... Kennedy will be home from her dads, then I can post a pic..

I google chicken leg hobbles, hit images, and looked... I got it right this time! I do think I need to add one made from yarn to the thigh bone also. Yarn was used.

There is a post that shows how to make a cradle from a cup or something and you use pop lids for the feed and water. It's really a neat thread. Lets see if we can find it.

Sorry, I have never been able to get the band aids to work. Wish I could help you out.

See if you can it this way.

cool link! Thanks! That looks about like what I did... I tried to put gauze around the feathers on its legs.. My chicks legs didn't look like that though, one is turned outward at the knee down. I sure hope this helps it. Its already able to sit upright, just can't stand up yet. Thanks!

I am still looking for that other thread, but I can not find it.
