Hahha yeahs mines died… one of my baby chicks (faith) had splat leg as a chick and took tiny steps to move. She had a bandaid but she had the Disease splat leg. She got sick and her best friend also got splat leg. Later, we realized another chick got sick and we lost 3 and the 4th that got sick had small mental problems when it got older but sadly got killed by a raccoon

Thank you sooooo much! I have a beautiful baby guinea that I hatched that has this really bad! Will post him on my yt channel community page!🤍🤍🤍

Looks great, nice size, clean…needs a low roost tho…shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to get something up for the smaller birds

Trying this with a turkey poult, its only a day old, has plenty of energy even if its wobbling. Doesn't have awful splayed legs, just a mild version where he cant stand well and his leg sticks out a little. With this and the cup method, he's moving around much more and I caught him standing up on his own! He's eating, drinking and pooping regularly and has plenty of energy. Very confident this chick will make it through.

Thank you. It's getting worse. I don't know what to do anymore.

Please tell me how you did feed and give water when it wouldn't walk? I'm going thru this now and I'm new at all of this and emotional. Please help

Really nice one 🎉

Thanks for your help , I’m going to try this method . New subscriber from Australia

Super nice job. One of the best, very complete, what do you do in winter for the water?

how much was the coop to build or buy

My partridge silkie was hatched teeny tiny compared to her mate, so i have her in a lil nest made w face cloth. and she has splayed leg as well. I tried to do that and it just came off. But i will try again. Its so great to see it can be fixed. The fluffy legs are hard to stick to . Thanx for this. God bless u and your fam!

Yep I hear at least 2 of my 6 girls at 5 o'clock every morning. Or whenever one of them escapes their enclosure and the others all day her out 😅

Wtf kind of weirdo farmer watches and records chickens laying eggs like this?

Egg moment

How is this painful? I’m confused

хэх. высрала.

Thank you for sharing your experience 😊😊😊

Why did I get this as my recommended, I watch people play games for majority of my time on TH-cam bro. HOW DOES THIS HAVE ANY CONNECTION!

Put a drill battery on it! That'll give it more power haha

Electric cars are the future,,,,🤠

Why are you destroying a child's toy

I love this coop design with windows and doors.

Husband : builds an awesome chicken coop. Wife : ‘of course’ you haven’t cleaned it yet. 😢

I'm having a hard time with my special little chick. I've had them for over a week & she's been walking fine. Then yesterday she looked like she injured her right leg, I'm thinking she got it caught in a rack.... but she was still hobbling with the left leg, in between her sitting on her haunches on her right leg. I thought it might be a sprain & would improve with trying to walk. Wrong! I woke up this AM & was devastated up find that her strong left leg was split ALL the way behind her & her right leg was split all the way forward 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭. I'm feeding her, but am scared she's going to die 🥺🥺🥺. I don't understand how she's been fine for a week & now this.

❤❤

Great

how do you get them to eat and drink? I lost mine because she would not eat or drink. made the mistake of trying to syringe feed and she choked sadly passing instantly. I now have another splayed leg chick and scared to do anything with her.

great idea on not gluing the PVC pipes. thanks for sharing

Did you separate the baby from the rest of the chicks for a few days?

My chicks just pick and wiggle the band aids off

How quick should I do this to a chick? I just had one hatch today and has splayed leg. Do I take away from momma hen? I

What are those mats in your nesting boxes?

Great looking coop! Any problems with the water going stagnant in the barrel?

"I hope it figures its life out" 😂😂

Make sure you add mosquito dunks in the rain barrels. You only need half a "dunk" per barrel every month. They float, so they won't get to the chickens and it will prevent mosquitos from using the water to make more skeeters.

Our little chicken is 3 weeks old and has a swollen leg and red around a un flap able wing we were wondering what splints and band-aids we need its been not eating.

Nice Build ❤❤❤❤

Yup, I use marbles.

Hello, Thats an awesome chicken coop. We are hoping to make something just like that. Do you by any chance have plans for it or know when i can get some? Thank you. :)

YOUR WIFE IS TALKING BACK YOU NEED YOU NEED TO ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE

We are using vet wrap. Our RI Red had one splayed leg and curled toes on that leg so both had to be addressed. I used a small cardboard from notebook and shaped as small as I could in a teardrop shape to fit toes. Used clear vented medical tape just enough to go over toes on top to keep them straight and to stick to cardboard and then very tiny narrow strips to go around and secure. The lighter the better. The vet wrap I cut less than a 1/4” wide and just enough to encircle both legs below knee and loose on leg and pinched in middle. It was quite easy and will not stick to feathers. We haven’t had chicks for years and never had this problem. I didn’t have vet wrap and my husband fashioned a hobble from a fuzzy pipe cleaner and made sure no pokey ends stuck out. It worked but it’s cumbersome and wouldn’t advise, but it worked for the day until vet wrap. It was So easy to get on this tiny chick and I’m sure she appreciated the comfort. I didn’t make her Sandler for toes right away and wish I had because as I attached the cardboard and toes were straight the chick seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She does have difficulty with the other toe sometimes barely catching sandal, but I’m hopeful this will be a brief rehab. I separated her as there would not be much rest with other chicks and it would be undue stress. She chirps normally during day and I have a little night light at night so she can see food and water with a temperature controlled seedling heat mat under box. Every hour or so I lift her over to water and food to make sure she keeps strength up and hydrated for sure. And she enjoys classical music and a Spring Peepers CD 😂 I’m just very happy she is drinking and eating and I do use probiotics and electrolyte/vitamins in water. I scrambled a bit of egg and in very tiny pieces to add protein and other nutrients to build muscle. At this young age they use a lot of energy to grow feathers and bones. When I changed hobble today it appeared the legs were staying closer together, but because I was still figuring out how to make a prosthetic for the toes I think I delayed the correction a bit because no weight can be put on curled toes. This is day 3. So 2 days with pipe cleaner hobble, but the toes needed to be addressed because she couldn’t apply pressure. Don’t know what happened in her travel to the store, but it’s been a ruff start for the lil tyke. So if you have a tiny bird as this try and keep the surface flat with paper towel. I don’t know if rubber shelf liner would help or hinder. And use glass stones in water to prevent drowning if they tip over as all those prosthetics even though I made them as light as possible are still a lot of hardware for them to maneuver.

Great coop! About how much would you say all the material cost?

Great job

Hello, thanks for the video as it will help many bird owners to fix their birds legs. I have a dove which was born 5 days ago. Today i realized its right leg is slightly going to the side and i found out its called splayed legs after searching online. I have just one question : Is it enough if i reshape the nest so it supports baby to sit in the right position with its legs are as they supposed to? I did it an hour ago and so far its sitting all good there, both legs in the right position. I am all by myself and i am just afraid of hurting the baby while doing bandaids or other solutions. Is this ok as long as the legs stay in the right position, what do you think? Thanks in advance.

What do you for litter?

Beautiful coop! What is the material on the floor of the hen house that looks like plastic??

Great job! I'm getting 7 hens in July and want to do something similar to what you did. However, I want to make some small adjustments: 1. I will add an insulated box for the water and add a small heater that turns on at 32F and turns off at 34F so that the water never freezes. 2. I'm going to make my nesting box such that the eggs roll away and the birds can't eat them nor poop on them But in the end, I'll be doing something very similar to what you did. Great job!

Nice job

Of course you haven't..... Wow. The quality and attention to detail on that chicken coup speaks well of the husband. The comment at the 2:00 mark also is very telling.

Why do you use these glass pebbles?
