Plank 8 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi all I am new to Canary breeding. I have just noticed one of the chicks I have bred perches normally with one foot but for it's other the rear toe folds into the foot. It does not seem to get such a good grip but it copes. If I manipulate the toe it seems to articulate normally, but then perches back how it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,871 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sounds like a slipped claw on the chick mate,just get a small bit of tape or cut plaster and tape the back toe to it's leg so it's held in place and a few days to a week held up like this should have it sorted and it'll stay where it's ment ot be,it's a tendon thing and i've had a couple like it the same over the years and all mine went back to normal. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
