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.

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.

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. ^

Shoot I’m not sure about a 2 week old. 🥹 did she have the problem at hatch or did it happen later on?
@barkpurr75033 ай бұрын
@opryhill6552 --I noticed her legg when she was 5 days old. She was fine after hatch. She was the last to hatch and is much smaller than her siblings. She is now 16 days old. I've tried all of the other methods so far. When I tried the sling method, like yours in the jar but used a small rubber bin, she sat fine in BUT would constantly try to fly up and out! I have tge vet wrap hobble on her still. Today, I'm going to take that off and just see how she does. It's sad, she is SO healthy, strong, a strong will and is growing. I am at a loss.

@@barkpurr7503 shoot I have never done it this late but don’t lose hope! The older they are the longer it takes to heal. If you notice it hasn’t improved keep her hobbled. I think at her age that is going to be her best chance.
@barkpurr75033 ай бұрын
Her leg continues to kick out back or at the side. I don't see that the tendon is out. I have stretched it back like she would stretch it etc. It just won't get better. Her siblings are flying all over in the closed coop with their Mama, doing very well. We are building a bigger coop for them. 6 chicks, their Mama and our 1 rooster. Don't know how this disabled one will fit in. I won't give up! We love this little one so much.

How do you tell if the chicks have pasty butt without picking them up the first week?
@opryhill65523 ай бұрын
Shoot I never even thought of that. I rarely have the pasty bum anymore but my best guess would be observing each chick. Depending on how many you have you could tell. If you cannot visible see the pasty bum you can see them sort of walking a bit off. The pasty bum is such a hard thing to combat with shipped chicks. If you need to go ahead and pick them up to make for sure they are alright. That is the most important thing.
@elip.70434 ай бұрын
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.
@opryhill65524 ай бұрын
We love it! It is in fact a puppy brooder but it works really well. Easy to clean and store. The only thing I would recommend is to have a waterproof pad underneath it and use hemp bedding if inside! They are so dusty! The hemp keeps the dust down for the first 2 weeks and then after that they get their new feathers in and shed the casing of the baby ones. That is where most of the dust will come from but I follow the rule of cleaning the brooder for how old they are. Week one, clean once a week. Week two clean twice a week. Week three clean three times a week…is usually move them into a cooler area like the garage by week four to start to “harden them off” if you will. I have a couple videos on all of this too! The puppy brooder I used is listed in the best brooder video. I get the used ones on Amazon and they are like…$11-15 dollars. I keep for a year or two and then throw away! They little mesh that they pen is made from gets pretty worn down and fray. Then they can start to try to eat it/choke on the strings if that makes sense.

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!

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

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 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. 🐥🤞😊
