Gazmapp 13 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I got some chicks yesterday ( well misses did) only day old, silkies to be exact, and all are fine except 1 it's legs r pointing out I have researched this and seems to be straddle leg (if that's right) I have taped the legs together as seen on Internet but the chick is literally just lying there doing nothing any idea what is best to do or is it worth putting it out its misery as I have been told it don't work, any advice greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance, gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patterdalejoel 669 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 taping its legs will work ive done it but i soon learnt that they arent fit for much and culling is the best option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
