DC, I just wanted to thank you for ALL the great advice and ideas to help me fix my chicks legs. I tried the splints and the chick chair. Unfortunately, none of these helped my chick. I believe her legs and feet were to damaged from being born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her and not being able to stand. I managed to keep her alive for almost five weeks by hand feeding her and keeping her warm and clean. She died on May 3rd (born March 28). She never got any feathers except for her wings. I really took her death hard but I am glad she died on her own because I couldn't cull her. Again, your advice and and she was so small (but fiesty! The information you sent was so valuable and I really appreciate you taking your time to help one of God's creatures.
