I was wondering if anyone had any spraddle experience. I have a splash chick that is almost 3 weeks old. we have been trying different measures to attempt to correct his issue, now only one leg stocks out to the side. He is currently on coffee mug and rubber band therapy. He eats and drinks fine and scuttles aboutusig his wing occasionally as a brace. Has anyone successfully kept a spraddle chick as a house chicken? I love my little Truman.
will he always be able to get around well? Is there an apparatus I can get for him.to make his life easier? Would a large dog kennel in the house and supervised outside time work?

The smaller of the two paint checks I got last weekend has been getting pasty butt. I've been checking her at least x2 each day and gently cleaning her when needed. This morning when I cleaned her I saw that she had a big "bump" like something was pushing from the inside of her vent. After cleaning her up I could see her vent moving and contracting but nothing came out. I massaged it. It doesn't look like anything is stuck inside but I'm worried about her. The area I could see is all red.
I checked on her just now (about 1.5 hours have passes). The bump has gone down but not gone altogether. She's acting a little lethargic. Should I do anything else other than keep a close eye on her?
