Thank you so much for your tutorial. After just 24 hours my mini bantam chick is standing and walking. I will use this method of treatment again for sure.

Love this! Tysm ❤

Is there a way to tame the chicks being raised by a hen?

Hi how did you keep her warm?

I love this video! Best one yet!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been despairing today trying to sort my teeny day old chick out. I think her splay leg / curled toes issue was because she hatched with her foot coming out first! Anyway, like you i tried the BandAid but couldn't get it positioned just right. Everything else i tried was the same. I did find that pet bandage was quite good and used that after putting her legs through the felt material to keep her feet closer in the jar. I wasn't sure if her feet should touch the bottom and decided to do that after lining it with kitchen paper towel. At first she kept pushing to try and get out, which i guess is definitely good exercise for the legs. I also put some tape under her foot and stuck her toes to it in a better position. I am worried about controlling the temperature for her as she is wrapped up i the felt, so i have put the jar in the brooder next to the heat plate, but not under it. I also covered her part of the brooder with a piece of cardboard. I can only hope and pray as the others were really pecking at her, even though they are only 1 day old! Amazing really. I wanted to add a photo but don't thinkmit allows me to. I will post an update soon. 🙏

Hi, I only have one chick who is 2 months old now and it’s leg was like this it’s been 1 month. Is there any chance of recovery. And plus, it’s a paralysis because of vitamin b1 deficiency.

Great video , your passion for your birds is inspiring me.

Will this work on budgie ? Thanks

Hi draw met er

I tried this method with my 2 week old chick. Problem was, she kept trying to fly up and out??? She is now still with her leg problem. I'm at a loss now. ^

How do you tell if the chicks have pasty butt without picking them up the first week?

Where did you get that brooder that you have the chicks in? Is it one of those octagon/roundish pet pens? I can’t imagine a heat lamp could be put near that. I really like it. I was looking at them.

Yes great advice! I did not pick up my chicks because it is terrifying too them, as they got older they began to recognize me as safe and I was able to pick them up and pet them.

How often did you feed and water? How did you offer feed?

Thanks for the video . Trying to save my baby chick using your technique . May I ask how did you keep the baby warm ? Heat lamp or brooder ? I have heat mat underneath pint glass jar an brooder over 🤷‍♀️ I hope she won’t freeze

I have fabric, I need to find a small jar. I hope the newborn chick will do well. Thank you so very much for this video. I've been using a clean pump from a new bottel to give her / him water. I dont know if it's a hen or rooster.

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing this🙏✨ I have a splayed leg chick and she's such a little fighter. She's one of 60 chicks and even through flock mentality of bullying she was determined to eat, drink and exist. We weren't sure if she would make even with our best efforts to correct her legs...the others were too busy picking on her leg brace. We were finally able to manage to create a small, warm space of her very own. So here's hoping in the next few days our efforts will be fruitful. I love your rehabilitation idea. Time to go rummage through the pantry and craft storage. Thanks again!

How do you know that they are warm enough or not too hot since they can't move to regulate their temperature?

The way you tell if it's a rooster or a hen at ONE WEEK OLD!! Is when there is wing feathers show the roosters wing would be small and the hens wing would be big and that's how you tell rooster between hen as old as one week

Can we try this technique for cockatiel

Your like a scientist! Thanks for your research and sharing you experience😊

I get 70% hatch rate with shipped eggs.... newbie here. Recommend adding additional hygrometers. There are cold spots in the incubator. Also let them sit 24 hours before putting them in the incubator at all.

I am new doing hatched eggs. I bought fertile eggs EBay, Etsy, local back yard person selling eating eggs, and from a local farm ‘lab’ store. I got mostly Roos and no mater what number of eggs I bought, each resulted only one or two eggs from egg batch I bought from people. I used 3 different Incubators.

Love the good ideas.

I lightly sand the roost

Great info 🙂

I came home from out of town to our 2 late hatched chickens having splay leg. My husband tried his best to keep them alive until I got home. When I first saw them, I almost had him euthanize them. I tried taping yesterday, and saw them only get worse. One of them had such a will to survive, so I was going to keep trying for both of them. I came across your video and decided to give it a go with one chick this morning, and by this afternoon, I saw so much improvement that I just put the other one in the the "birdie jumper". I hope it has the same results. Can you show your feeding system because I am still syringe watering and holding the upright to eat scrambled yokes?

Thank you for this! I live in Michigan and our winters are no fun either! Love how calm your chickens are!!

I have a 20 hour old Polish chick with splayed legs, she’s still drying off in the incubator - do I wait until she’s dry and out to start rehabilitation? These are the first chicks I’ve hatched and I’m already so attached to them 🥹

My chick is friendly but poops a lot, like every 10mins. How do u prevent yours from pooping on u or where ever it walks

how often would you apply the mushers creme?

What does grit do???

Yes dont give up when they show you they dont want to, but need help not to! 2 years into chic raising now and I win some I lose some bit until they show me otherwise I keep trying. Such a good feeling. Thanks for this video!

My new chicken has Splay. Pretty badly. I'm using this method currently, but the chick doesn't stop crying out! I'm assuming it's normal? This chick is a fighter, but the lady who hatched her said she doesn't have high hopes for it.

Thank you so much, I bought two lots of 1/2 doz of two different breeds, only one from each lot hatched, I guess after watching your KZbin I should consider myself lucky, I have since been sent a doz replacement from one lot & have had them upright in the incubator. I also am getting a replacement for the other lot sent to me, so the timing is perfect, I especially like the info on not turning them from day 15 to 18, I think that would help, I wish all the chicken lovers good luck. 🐥🤞😊

Beautiful chicks what breed are they?

Ur formula is great

I love your brooder. Is it like a tent type brooder?

Thank you so much for this wonderful, very thorough video. Just working on our turkey now, hopefully one of these techniques will work, but you have given me hope. Thank you!

Be very careful with temperature with this method. I tried this overnight with one of our chicks and she got too cold and died. 😢 I would try this again but not overnight where I can't check her hourly. Thank you for sharing a different method ❤

@KZbin , ever considered a 15 second rewind button? Would be helpful.

I have a week old chick, came out the egg with leg already splayed. I tried the hairband and and straw technique which initially seemed to work well, but two days on it can’t walk at all. The chick is 7 days old now, is it too late to try the jam jar? - thankyou

Are you no longer doing?

I definitely got a lot out of this I'm a very observant person in body language if you can say is relatable in the sense of understanding a chicken itself from human body language to chicken body language is a heightened sense of security for the chickens cuz you're not forcing yourself upon them your like you said acclimating themselves with your hand and I did definitely notice reaching down to them does set them uneasy feelings is what I observe such a long comment but I feel this video

Give vitamin d3, b complex and calcium syrup .

Cut a fabric bandaid in half and tape the legs together. It will fall off in time. May have a bow leg but better than they were.

Big fan

Hello i saved a dove baby. She is now 16 days old but she is not standing on her legs. She used to sit by joining her both the legs at front. What should i do to make her stand and walk? Should i follow the same technique to fix her legs
