Slinging some TLC: is your chick's hangout height just right
Oh, bless your heart, and your little chick's leg. You're already doing more for that feathered friend than most first-timers would even think to try. That sling idea? Pure cluck-tastic ingenuity. Here's the short answer: yes, you generally want the feet to just barely touch the ground, taking weight off the leg without fully dangling her. If she's alert, eating, and curious, you're already winning the chicken parenthood game. The fact that you're adjusting her food and water station, too? That's some serious TLC. You're learning fast, and honestly, that's half the battle.
