Meet Chick, our little feathered friend who’s facing a bit of a cluck-tastrophe! Born with splayed legs, this adorable chick is now in a cozy container, where we're hoping to work some magic.

I’m reaching out to our wonderful community for advice. Have any of you dealt with splayed legs or wry neck in your chicks? Your insights and experiences could be just the egg-citing help I need to give Chick the best chance at recovery. Let’s chat and see if we can help this little one strut its stuff soon!

- Need help with new chick!I got 10 chicks today in the mail. They all seem great expect for this little guy. He was drinking and eating about an hour ago but seemed a little more clumsy than the others. I just came and checked on him and he was laying upside down in the shavings. Doesn’t seem to be doing too good. You think it’s a lost cause? Any ideas on how I can help? submitted by /u/Gravitys_Bitch [link] [comments]

- Help with baby chick, leg problemsHi! My sister had this chick hatch and it cannot walk because its leg and toes are all curled up. At first she thought it was splay leg so we tried some splints, tape, etc but that didn’t seem to help. We have been drop feeding and watering her, and have also given selenium, vitamin E, and electrolytes. She eats decently well when fed, but she can’t walk over to food and water herself. She’s very energetic and vocal, she just doesn’t have the ability to move around and it’s heart breaking. She also doesn’t seem to be growing much — she is 5 days old and her siblings are much bigger than her. My sister has reached out to all the vets in our area and no one is willing/able to take a look, and we desperately want to help this baby. If you have any advice at all, please comment! We would be so grateful, especially as we are still relatively new to having chickens. Obviously we know there is a chance that we will have to put her down but that is absolutely last resort. My sister views her chickens as pets and they are all very precious to her. submitted by /u/JarJarbinks_Just [link] [comments]
- Help with identify what’s wrong with baby chickHi everyone, have a baby check that is about four weeks old. She was doing really well in the beginning, but wasn’t growing as fast as the others. I was worried that she just wasn’t getting as much food and water. She keeps trying to stand but falls forward. . I’m not sure if this started happening because the other chickens might have trampled on her since they were bigger or if this was a birth defect, but she was walking just fine when we first brought her home. I have her isolated and trying to feed her food and water, but it’s hard for her to lean forward to dip her beak and water. Is there anything we can do or what might be the issue? submitted by /u/Few-Permission5362 [link] [comments]
