Splay Leg with Broody Hen

[Elliemae1984]

Hi all, just hatched out 12 silkies in my incubator. Noticed 2 have splay leg when I attempted to relocate them under my broody hen.

Can I band their legs together and put them under mom, or should I brood these 2 myself?

I would keep them to bind their legs. If you do it right away, it might only take two days. Then you could try introduce them to mom again.

That’s what we ended up doing. Only took 24 hours in the brooder. They were introduced to mom this morning

Thanks for the reply!!
