Subject: Newly Hatched Chick with Curled Foot

Hi there, I just read your thread with Donna with a similar problem. Thank you for sharing your story, Donna & thank you for sharing your wisdom.

My little chick hatched yesterday morning. She's a very cute little Silver Laced Wyandotte & I have named her Boots. Going by your advice to Donna, I taped her feet last night & made her some cardboard chick shoes to wear. Then this morning her right leg was splayed out to the side, so she's now hobbled too. How long would you recommend I keep these things on her? I can send photos if necessary.

She's currently residing in the incubator with another chick for company. I've put crumble & water in there for them. The rest of the hatchlings are in a bigger brooder. I wanted to keep Boots separated.

Thank you! Jo (in Australia)
