Twin day...SO NERVOUS!

Yep x2 ^

Look up The Chicken Chick, she has a blog and a great post about splay and spraddle leg and crooked toes.
However, not to be the bearer of bad news..BUT if the splay leg treatment doesn't work, it could be a slipped tendon..seems when I have splay it shows in both legs and slipped tendon in only one. I've have 2 chicks this year with slipped tendons (never ever had any before) but I've never been able to successfully treat it. Just put down my sweet tolbunt polish chick bc of it..
if it's the tendon, you should be able to feel it move (it shouod be by the knee)..lots of stories and treatment here..a lot of people have had good luck treating it if caught in the first 18 to 24 hours..
Still holding my breath for the lil ones ♡♡

I didn't think of the tendon. Good call

I had one with splay leg and one with just one leg like splay leg. Treated them both the same and both are happy healthy little 3wk olds.

That's good that it does happen with just one leg too..that eased my mind a lot

What's the update with the twins??? If no action, it may be time to intervene.

Waiting on the last chapter of the "twin chicken" book! Hope we get a good update! I have recovered from my drama last night and appreciate the help of everyone. Still sad, but the circle of life, eh?
