Donna, Sorry that I am slow today. I seem to have caught a
summer cold that has given me "tired blood".
I have looked at the two new photos that you sent me. Those
did not show the parts of the leg I wanted to see BUT I
solved that problem by finding photos that you sent me
before so I can guess about how leg is now.
----
I had a baby peacock that came from somebody else's
incubator and my efforts to repair him failed badly.
But poor Murphy (named for Murphy's Law) lived with me for
seven very long years. I created a special pad to protect
his hock joint. I used material from pipe insulation
soft enough to cut with scissors but solid enough to
last for a while before wearing out and needing replaced.
This material was in hollow tube shape. I cut a piece
long enough to cover a leg and took out a "V" shaped piece
from middle in order to make elbow style angle and then
secured the bend with duct (duck) tape. I used more duck
tape to hold it on Murphy's bad leg.
I hope that this information helps you with your chick
but if you have questions--just ask. As long as God keeps
my computer working and keeps me able to use it I will
be here for you.
