    ~3 month old pullet with bad splayed leg. How do I fix it without putting her in major pain?

    Had her for about a month, Orpington pullet. I believe she is about 3 months old. Been walking oddly recently, went to check on her and found her limping badly and favoring her left leg. I first started noticing this 2 days ago, but from the bad look of it it’s been around for about a week. No...

    Chick with splayed leg??

    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...

    Splayed Legs??

    Hello, I have my first turkey that just hatched last night. I just took it out of the incubator and it’s legs seemed slightly splayed.

    Chick with dislocated knee or 1 splayed leg??

    I got a chick from a friend at 4 days old. She seemed to think the knee was dislocated so she put the leg in a splint. We kept it on for a week and the chick didn't use the leg much but still got around. When we took it off the chick had a cast sore but not unmanageable. Now the leg is kinda...

    Splayed leg or something worse?

    I just rescued a 5 week old chicken. They said he had untreated splayed leg however if it is, it is the worse splayed leg I’ve seen. Can you confirm diagnosis and is it too late for treatment?
