Chick with Leg Problems

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I hatched some chicks and one has spraddle legs. They have been on paper towels and not on anything slippery. Is there anything that can be done for this little chick?

There is a post in the archives on using a bandaid as a stabilizing aid to correct this, the poster said that it works, might look for it and try it.

Thanks, BC. I had looked in the Archives but wasn't looking in the right "Poultry" category. I found the answer!

Would appreciate hearing how this works for you, either through a posting or an email.
