I just hatched some Silikie's and they are about a day old. I have noticed that a few are falling on their bums. At a closer look I see the rear toe is off to one side.
Can someone instruct me on the 'tape boot'? What kind of tape? Several layers for stiffness? Wrap around toe or just flat? How long till the toe is corrected? Is there problems if they eat the tape?
When I inspect their feet and find one's that don't have a rear toe, should they be culled? Or will they learn to balance?
These are pets.
