I need hatching support

[slordaz]

So should I re-hobble him when I get back out there then? Depends on how hes walking?

if he's doing fine after that treatment getting those awesome pictures I would just keep an eye on it

These videos show how to check for slipped tendon. Very gently push the tendon from left to right and from right to left. If it stays out in the groove of the joint it is not slipped tendon.

I guess I've had good luck before then. I ended up with about 40 chickens on 5 acres(chicken math), and only had a minor respiratory infection in about 5 of them. Had to cull some nasty roosters in that time for sure. It's ok, they tasted good.

I give my flock some garlic about once a month they love it even as chicks, the older ones are now 5 with the others 2-2.5 years old now and thank heavens only have had one that just up and died

I'd like to see another video.

Oh I did have a couple hens that did just die, both found a corner of the coop, went to sleep and just didnt wake up. No clue what that was about.

Ok I will get a couple then. Him in the brooder with the other two and him back on the concrete. After I get my monster settled again, eat, poop, sleep, repeat.

I keep calling all these chicks "hims". Idk what they really are of course. I've just got 2 boys so it natural for me. Lol

I call all mine "him" until they prove to me they're girls. =)

I would keep up with the treatments, give him some "pushups" into your hand on a regular basis. IMO he probably got kinked up in the egg - who knows- maybe there was pressure on a nerve or?? I'm glad he's improving- personally I'd keep going with the hobbles and let him stay with his two buds unless there's an issue.

No he seems to be getting around alright. He was just at the water, drinking, when I came in to video him. Those will be uploaded in just a few. YouTube is working on it. I think he may have been playing around before I came in cuz he seemed a bit tired in these videos. I'm very happy hes starting to move well!!

He did have a touch hatch. Got this far on his own, then I could tell he was needing help. Got through the assist with some wonderful people here encouraging me. He was rather large for the egg.

I thought in the video, first few seconds as it was try to raise up, it really looked like valgus deformity either in both legs, or especially in the left leg. If the left leg gets worse, it might be called a twisted tibia. In your pictures, the legs look normal.
