straddlefoot

We now have 9 of 10 eggs from our red goldens hatched. Everyone seems to do good except looks like a couple of straddlefoots. Have them seperated and put in a thin slot in the box to keep their legs close in. Hope this works.

This is a good link on how to fix spraddle leg. Make sure you are not using newspaper in the brooder, it is very slippery. I use some medical bandage stuff on my chicks. It is not sticky but will stick to itself. I find it alot eaiser to get on the chick. Good luck!

everyone is doing great this morning walking around fine, we just confined the two in a space as wide as them and today no problems. I am now using paper towels and they are walking good.
