One of my "teenagers" 9 wks developed splay leg and taping is only moderately helping. Anyone have any other suggestions that might help? Is this some kind of nutritional deficency? I've never had a bird develop this problem this old befor. I've had it three times in new chicks and the tape method worked on two of them with very good success. I hate to put her down, especially as she is the blue I'm breeding for but, will have no other choice if I can't find something that works so...we have nothing to loose & will try anything
Thanks all, for any help you might have to offer!
