When to take band aid off spraddle leg chick?

[muscovy94]

Hey everyone my chick that hatched the other day has slight spraddle leg. Its not bad its just one of his legs didn't want to stay under him and he couldn't walk, but he could kinda hobble. How long do I keep the bandaid and tape on his legs? I just put them on.

I would leave them on for a couple days then take it off and see how it does. If it is still spraddle then replace the bandaid and wait a few more days.

I only use them for 24 - 48 hours, and remove to recheck.

Yes. They can be removed by soaking it in warm water and peeling it off, or cut it off carefully with scissors.
