splay leg

3-4 day old chick can't fully stand up. It hobbles around pushing off of one leg and kinda lays on its side when its not moving. Its able to sit its self up and drink. It chirps a lot like its in distress. We tied its legs assuming its spraddle/splayed because we don't know what else it could...

https://ibb.co/zfyzxqs https://ibb.co/Jy0dtWk https://ibb.co/ZJQNCBz this baby is about 24 hours old. I fear she has a slip tendon or rotated femur. She constantly gets stuck on her back and has lots of trouble eating and drinking without complete assistance. I’m worried she’s in pain as she...

Hey y’all! We are hatching some coturnix quail. We had about 7 hatch last night, that was late day 17, and a few more have pipped and are starting to zip this morning, early day 18! They are all looking fabulous and healthy, but I’m suspecting one chick that hatched last night has splay leg...

One of my silkies hatched but it has splay leg and seems lethargic. It has been in the incubator for 24 hrs now. I used vet wrap to make a splint for its legs but it still hasn’t walked. I tried sugar water and it seems to perk up for a second then lays back down. The other chicks went to a...

PLEASE HELP!!! I just brought home a wynodette baby with splay leg and I bandaged it with vet wrap. She won’t stop crying and she won’t stand all the way up… please please help!

I have a 48 hr plus chick. He was slow to hatch and I have been hobbling him for 24 hrs for spraddle leg. He can’t stand, he even with the Hubble. His feet almost go over his head. Am I supposed to hobble over the hock, to straighten it? ( knee…not sure what it’s called.)

on exactly may 1st Murray McMurray delivered 25 California quail eggs to my house. All the eggs looked fine with no visible cracks I put them in my incubator set the temp and proper humidity. I am very new to this so I definitely did something wrong. 4 days ago day 23 of the hatch 4 hatched Day...

I have zero experience chicken rearing but my school did a school hatch this week. All 8 seemed ok but then 1 we came into work yesterday morning to see wasn’t standing and couldn’t walk. My basic knowledge from being in a chicken group on Facebook suggested it looked like splayed leg, although...

I have a baby chick that has its legs set like he is doing the splits forward ways instead of sideways. He does not open his front foot and it stays curled in. When we work with his foot it seems to hurt him so we stop. We plan on putting him in a splint thing that’ll bring his legs together...

This is Miracle when she(or he) was getting better, her feathers fuller and able to stand and starting to be able to eat on her own. She had a rough hatch where you can see her trying to come out of her shell for 24 hours about 2-3 days after the other chicks hatched in the incubator. They...

Got this little lady born Tuesday, and noticed today she was sleeping with her legs out, splayed. She was getting around to get food and water, but I but a brace on her. Now she won't get up and walk anymore! How do I convince her to walk around? First picture is when she was laying down. Sorry...

This ones gonna be a bit long, sorry. I’m posting to share my experience so far in case anyone else has these issues, and to see what wisdom y’all might have to add to it all. So, I hatched my first full brood in the incubator Monday (I had done a few successful hatches but only got 2/1...

Little chick had trouble hatching. He was stuck with the same little pip for over 24h and I had to help him hatch. Well he hatched but can't stand. His legs sort of sway to one side. Is it from being stuck in one position in the egg or the incubator floor? I'm noticing 2/3 times I've used this...

Hello. It’s my first time raising chicks. One of them developed splay leg but by the time I realized it she was already very weak from not eating enough. I hand fed her for couple days until she regained some strength and put a splint on her but she is still not walking very much. She can stand...

Hi, Our last egg to hatch with our broody hens seemed to have leg issues. She moves but doesn’t stand fully up. This morning I noticed mom wasn’t helping her at all and then pecked her twice so I removed her and now she’s in our house in a brooder. I gave her so chicken vitamins in her water...

Hi everyone I've tried Googling this problem but it only comes up with how to treat splay leg. Basically one of my chicks- Peggy- nearly died twice as a chick, once from cold, and the other from cold hand shock i ended up giving her cpr and she came back round only a day old at that point...

I just noticed that one of my young chickens has some sort of leg injury or deformity. I have no idea how it happened or how long it's been like that. It doesn't seem to cause her pain, and it seems like she's figured out how to walk on it. What's wrong with her leg, and what can I do to help her?

Every couple of hatches I have a chick or two with splayed legs and I've spent a lot of time messing around with leg braces and bands to try to solve. I finally found something that works for me with the fresh hatched chicks, I've tried this on chicks with the typical frog leg splay and also...

We got baby chicks for the first time, 7 silkies. 6 Was our number but she had one with what she thought was splayed leg and she wanted them to go with siblings. She’s been home here now about 36 hours and I’m convinced this is a slipped tendon, maybe I’m wrong? I am willing to put in the work...
