Poultry orthopedic techniques are most effective when used
on newly hatched chicks (one day old)
When a chick with damaged joints or tendons struggles it
will damage the skin and inflame the joints causing
swelling that makes it even harder to get things back in
place.
I would need to see photos of the legs of these chicks to
say if there is anything that can be done. A photo of the
chick standing, one of chick's legs as you hold it on its
back for close up of problem and perhaps a video clip from
i Phone. Do not send too many photos at one time. My
computer is NOT the newest and best due to cash flow
problems at my house.
You seldom have to "cull" a chick in this circumstance
because they often die if you fail to repair them.
I can understand being reluctant to kill something after
a grand effort to cure it. I have kept failed orthopedic
projects who lived several years.
