This technique is great! It saved my chick after only one day of treatment . Me and my daughter are very happy that our chick is walking beautifully.Thank you so much!
This totally worked for my guinea keet. Her leg was to the side. Putting her into the sling for 20 hours did the trick. When I first put her in the sling, and adjusted it so neither leg could touch bottom, the keet's good leg pumped and pumped trying to get out while the bad leg just hung there. 6 hours later, the bad leg is also pumping - excellent PT - so I kept her in overnight and she was good in the morning - the leg was now under the hip, the toes (which I had bandaided) were straight, and the keet could walk. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
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!
Just hatched a SLC... EASY FIX!!! Take 2 bands (the little ones used on braces for teeth). Loop one through the other and make a real small pair of handcuffs. Slide one over one claw and the other over the other claw. Super easy, they can move and the results are almost instant. Just replace if they break etc.
We saw a female bird with 1 splayed leg at a bird shop and they gave her to us for free. We were still in experienced then but shes already grown up so it probably didnt make a difference but nows she adpated so well and is so feisty and shes is a proud mom of two chicks shes a real fighter
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!
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 ❤
Thanks so much for this detailed video! I had a clutch of lovebirds, and the tiniestt was a week younger than the rest so it got squashed under its sibs - so I used a similar cup technique, but wasn't sure how long to leave it in the jar lol! It's doing great now!
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 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!
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. 🙏
Super convenient video!!! ❤️ I just had another hatch: one with splayed legs and another with curled toes (incubating my uncle’s eggs). Thanks so much!!!
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.
Informative video. Same happened with one of my blue cochin large chick, i tried many procedures for correcting splay legs but unfortunately the chick couldn't survive. But this video gives another hope. Appreciations from pakistan . ❤👌
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
That is brilliant! I will try this with my next splay chick. None of the standard methods worked for me either but this looks like a better solution that I came up with, I admit it lol.
@@opryhill6552 my chick couldn't stand for 12-13 hrs.She's trying her best to stand but struggles and stumbles in reverse.She's twice the size of the chicken in the video. will your technique work?
I am trying this right now with my baby that was hatched this morning. Shes super strong and wants to live! I used a cloth and cut the holes, put her legs through then suspended her in a jar. shes not too happy about it at the moment and I have the jar inside a box in the brooder under the lamp. im hoping that since shes just born, she will be ok to go without easy access to food and water, and I will keep my eye on her. I had to hatch her myself as she was stuck in her egg so im not surprised she has splay leg :(.
I think i traumatized 2 of my chicks trying to help them hatch … they had been struggling for nearly 36 hours to hatch … now one has a lot of feathers missing (my fault) and the other guy has a dodgy leg … I’ll try this method when I get home from work and hopefully it works … and hopefully baldy grows his/hers feathers back … thanks for the video
I have also a two-day-old baby chick who was the last one to be hatched. But one day later, I noticed it could walk but its toe is crawled exactly like the baby chick in this video. I am planning to use the bandage method, but what medicine or supplement should I apply to the chick? And thanks for the demonstration.
How did you keep the chick warm? Maybe you have a heat lamp? We have the little heating plate thing that they run underneath. If we have to put here in the jar, I’m wondering how we then keep her warm enough?
Hello Krystal. I have a heat plate too. I propped up one end of the plate so that she was still underneath it and the other chicks were on the other end of the brooder plate and could keep warm as well. I have a producers pride brooder plate that is pretty large so it worked out well for me.
Oh this is such good news! I figured giving all the options for how to help Would benefit people the most and I am so glad to hear it worked for you!!!
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?
I wonder if this will work with my chick. I bought 3 at the market, choosing carefully because I wanted to make sure I was selecting female chicks only. The first one I picked up had the splay leg and she had been with the sellers for more than a week by then. As I was leaving they asked me if I wanted her for free, so I took her. She's at least 3 weeks old I think, so I don't know if it's too late to try this treatment, but I have nothing to lose. She's a fighter so I know that even if I can't fix her leg, she'll at least be laying eggs along with the other hens.
Do you think there’s any danger in doing the jar bit too early on? Baby chick hatched yesterday and I have her taped up right now but I feel like going forward to the jar will be most beneficial
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.
I have button quails and my senior cock, now 6 years old, has difficulties standing up well. All the symptoms seem like a cerebrovascular accident. However, he's alert as always, eating eagerly, always comes check out when I give them fresh food etc. He just can't walk well and often falls over. Do you think this technique could help adult button quail to rehabilitate? I'm wondering since he seems to want to tuck himself in tight places to keep his legs straight and under himself. For example, I have a narrow olive plate for their seeds, and nowadays when he eats he goes standing inside the plate sideways so he can better stand up.
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 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 🥹
What do you do about a chick that try’s to flap out of the jar? I’m afraid she’s going to hurt herself. She try’s every 20 mins or so. She’s about 2.5 weeks old.
Wonderful you're great at outside the box thinking, I like to think I am as well but I wasn't sure what the problem was to start. Now a day later After 50 videos and research on a lame chick with straddle leg I think... I tried your technique in a bottle but she flapped and got one leg out, so like you said I didnt give up and put her legs wrapped with paint tape with no sticky exposed and now she's staying put on the little stand I placed inside the bottle for her... so cute and hopefully Ill have success as well. Thanks
hi, it's been a long time but I hope you reply. I'm having the same problem and since you tried did you keep the chick in the cage with the jar? how was the chick fed did you hand feed her?
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
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
Please help my one gooschick were born to early and the other goos didnt sit on the egg and we puted that egg under the other one and he hatched but he cant walk.
Hi, I have 3 budgies with splayed legs in our home. Does this only helps in treating the chicks or we can try this on the grown ones?? If no, can you please tell me how to treat a grown budgie(one and hlf month old)?! It’s really needed😢 Thanks!
She was walking just fine when I picked her out the lady put her in the Box and I think she accidentally pushed her joint out of socket because when I got home she was not walking right she's already 3 weeks old what should I do
Thank you so much for this video. I'm experiencing my first chick with splay leg at the moment. I put him in the jar like you showed but he kept wriggling out. I've now put bandaid hobbles on him underneath the harness while he's in the jar. He's crying out a lot, most of the day and night but is eating, drinking and sleeping at times. Did you experience this with your chick? Thanks :) Caz
Thanks for video I'm also trying this method now I had lost I chick year ago by trying rubber band method. my chick is just 1day old can i try this? But she don't no how to eat. Can we do hand feeding like canure chicks?
With using the heat plates for heat. What did you use for a heat source while you had the chick in the jar/sling? I had one hatch yesterday with this problem.
Hello Donna and so sorry to hear about your chick. I propped one half of the heat plate up just above the jar so. the other chicks could still sit under the warmth and then the splay leg chick sat in her little jar under the plate as well. In the video she had grown out of her jar but when she was first put in it she was able to sit and stand comfortably.
@@opryhill6552 update, the chick is doing great. Its now walking and eating and drinking with the other chicks. I think giving poultry cell helped as well. This is a chick from shipped eggs i bought from a silkie breeder in Florida. So I am really happy it is doing better. It is a really pretty chick. Thank you again for your help. Hugs.
I have two spraddled leg chicks with curled toes right now. They're currently suspended in the cups and I'm praying their legs straighten out and they are able to stand tomorrow! Thank you so much for sharing this method. I tried taping their legs with vetap but they just kept falling over!
Please let me know if that works, am also having same problem with my chick.. He is two months old,. For the past 15days his leg spralled. Don't know how and why
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. ^
@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.
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.
This technique is great! It saved my chick after only one day of treatment . Me and my daughter are very happy that our chick is walking beautifully.Thank you so much!
I am so glad to hear a success story!!
During this treatment does your chick had shivering in its leg?
You are a very caring and dedicated chicken owner. Good for you. Proud of ppl like you. You go the extra effort for small animals that matter.

Same as you none of the other things worked but found something that has
So beautiful beneficial and encouraging . I’m grateful

Thank you Ellen! I love those little fellas ❤️
You are such a great person. Thank you for this jewel. I will try it on my chicks
Thank you so much! It means the world.

How do you know that they are warm enough or not too hot since they can't move to regulate their temperature?
Please help my one gooschick were born to early and the other goos didnt sit on the egg and we puted that egg under the other one and he hatched but he cant walk.

I've now put bandaid hobbles on him underneath the harness while he's in the jar. He's crying out a lot, most of the day and night but is eating, drinking and sleeping at times. Did you experience this with your chick? Thanks :) Caz
Hey! Any updates? did it work?
@@honord9166 no, unfortunately it didn't come good and had to be culled
Thanks for video I'm also trying this method now I had lost I chick year ago by trying rubber band method. my chick is just 1day old can i try this? But she don't no how to eat. Can we do hand feeding like canure chicks?
It is happening to 2 of my baby pheasants. I feel so sad and disappointed to deal with this...
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. How did they do!
@@opryhill6552 Wow thank you! Your technic worked perfectly. The chicks walk normally after 5 days in "cuffs". Greetings from Indonesia!
Brilliant!
Can you help please? What happens if this hasn’t worked for 24 hours?
Useful video
Impressive 👍
I did it on my qauil.Aperently the hen who layed the eggs wasn't fed with the right food
Thanks so much for the video
thank you so much🙏💐
Do I need a heat lamp on the baby then? My chick is very similar to yours, it is 2 days old
Someone gave me two ducklings and one has this I believe. Something is definitely wrong
With using the heat plates for heat. What did you use for a heat source while you had the chick in the jar/sling?
I had one hatch yesterday with this problem.
Hello Donna and so sorry to hear about your chick. I propped one half of the heat plate up just above the jar so. the other chicks could still sit under the warmth and then the splay leg chick sat in her little jar under the plate as well. In the video she had grown out of her jar but when she was first put in it she was able to sit and stand comfortably.
@@opryhill6552 thanks so much for the help.
@@donna9384 no problem!
@@opryhill6552 update, the chick is doing great.
Its now walking and eating and drinking with the other chicks.
I think giving poultry cell helped as well.
This is a chick from shipped eggs i bought from a silkie breeder in Florida.
So I am really happy it is doing better. It is a really pretty chick.
Thank you again for your help.
Hugs.
Can we try this technique for cockatiel
You are magnificent! Thank you!
Beautiful video and you're beautiful!!
I think her joint hip is out of place I don't know please help
Wow amazing 😘😘
I have two spraddled leg chicks with curled toes right now. They're currently suspended in the cups and I'm praying their legs straighten out and they are able to stand tomorrow! Thank you so much for sharing this method. I tried taping their legs with vetap but they just kept falling over!
Please let me know if that works, am also having same problem with my chick.. He is two months old,. For the past 15days his leg spralled. Don't know how and why
Yes, please! Keep us posted! It is so sad to see them suffer and I hope I was able to help!
Can we get an update 🥺
@@thealybot Thank God, my chick is active ( walking , running) like before. Just gave them some powdered calcium tablets for 3 to 4 days.
@@vijayalakshmipandian9994 what kind of calcium tablets? Strength? Currently have a baby chick with thus problem
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?
@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.
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.
Amazing, thank you
My chicks legs don,t working,its age is 2.5 months,help me
Hi how did you keep her warm?
Great tips thanks
