As of last night it’s turned a new corner!! It’s up and walking with the splint on, eating drinking and looking like a normal chick. Hopefully it keeps progressing. What a turn of events

Update. It’s not eating, it’s a bit alert, sleeps a lot but still not getting off its bum. It’s not falling over today which is an improvement but not standing. I also noticed blood on the paper towel coming from its bum. I just put it in a chick chair sling…I’m so upset 😞

I just hatched a few silkie chicks and the last one to come out has Spraddle leg. Without the brace it’s fine but will not stand up and I want to fix this asap. It is 13 hours old and I made a splint with a bandaid and separated it. It keeps falling on its back and can’t get up. I’m scared to...

Also seeing one of my silkies have splayed legs ☹️

This chick just hatched a few hours ago and is buzzing. Up walking alert but there is this red thing hanging from its but. Can anyone tell me what it is or what I can do? It isn’t lethargic in anyway, looks very healthy but I’m worried. It is in the incubator still with two other hatched chicks…
