Splay leg

[cowboy bob]

Hi one of my baby’s has a splay leg. I looked at older posts but the pix wouldn’t load for some reason. It has been out of incubator since tues the 10 th. I made a little strap with thin strips of duct tape, covering sticky part. It seems to hold its legs under it, but other chicks are picking at him. Will his legs get better.

Duct tape is kinda too sticky.. Read this. This is what we do..
How "We" Correct Splayed Legs on New Chicks.

You will need to keep it away from population for a little while as well.

Thanks for your help. Made the little guy some new handcuffs and separated. It’s hopping around eating and drinking a homemade electrolyte drink from 106 homestead. I think u saved it’s life.

Well the poor little guy took a turn fo the worst. It was eating and drinking but is now down. I put it in a soft rag and back into the bator to keep him comphy. Just how it doesn’t suffer.
