50 Pack Baby Chick Leg Hobbles Hobbling Chicken Hobble Braces for Spraddle Leg Repair of 1 to 3 Days Newly Hatched

These definitely work for larger newly hatched chicks. I wish they would make them for the smaller breeds such as bantams. The comments saying the cost is not worth the cure, seriously they are worth every penny. If a few dollars is gonna set you back buying these to correct the splay then maybe you're in the wrong business. Purchase before your chicks hatch as their muscles grow quickly and delivery could take days. If you wait too long its nearly impossible to correct. Thanks to the manufacturer and seller of these bands. You have helped save over a dozen of my chicks in the past 2 years.

I’ve had chickens for years, but this was my first time hatching. I planned on following the golden rule, don’t get involved… If they can’t get out of the shell, leave them be, or you’ll end up with the disabled chicken. I had one very expensive egg hatch about halfway out, and then stopped advancing. I noticed my humidity had gone down on the overnight and figured the egg protein was adhering to the chick. I held firm and did not get involved. On day 23, after I didn’t see any more breathing from the chick through the crack shell, I went to pick out the egg and dispose of it. But when I picked up the egg, I heard distress screaming from that chick louder than I’ve ever heard a chick in my life! I figured I would open up the shell, because that chick was likely moments from death, let the chick see the light of day, get a little loving and move on. She was determined to live! But she had multiple problems. Her right leg was splayed and her good leg on the left had a toe folded under. I did physical therapy on the toe for a couple of days waiting for these to arrive. They weren’t the easiest to get on, and she hated it, but after a day or two, she is now , standing up straight, even the folded under toe is now looking normal. I’ll leave it on for no longer than a week, and then take it off and see how she does with the possibility of maybe reapplying it. She was maybe three days old when I put it on, possibly four. I don’t know why they give you 50 to a bag, it’s a bit ridiculous, but they’re cheap enough, and I would highly recommend picking these up before a hatch. Even if you don’t plan to rescue any distressed eggs, sometimes things happen… I will update , once I take off the brace. I will mention, that if you choose to takeoff and decide you need to reapply, you can cut that little tubing. Right now it’s perfect for her to stand straight and keep her splayed leg forward. But she needs more room to move now and if I take it off, I will cut the tubing to give her more stride if I decide to reapply it. I named her faith… Update: Faith has been wearing the brace now for three days. Her legs look completely normal, and the toe remains normalized. She’s walking quite normally and standing up straight for the first time since birth. She’s still not thrilled with it, but I certainly am. I’ve added a video taken this morning to show you.

I used some of these on my quail chicks. Since quail chicks are much smaller than chicken chicks it was too big for my newborn chicks but worked after about a week and a half of growth. At that point they fit better. However pay attention to how much squeeze it puts on the legs cause it definitely caused irritation on my chicks legs. My mistake for not keeping a better eye on it as she grew. Could be prevented by trimming down the size of the middle rubber piece probably. Over all I do like these. You get quite a lot in the bag and they are good quality. This definitely did work to straighten up the legs of my chicks. With these being the only option on amazon I'm glad they turned out to be good. I do recommend these and I give 5 stars.

These do work but I found them extremely difficult to use. It is a bad design there should be a clip in the middle instead of a little plastic tube. I tried to get it on myself but once one leg was on I had to stretch the band quite a bit to get it on the other foot and I was afraid I would hurt the chick. I had to have help I found putting these on as a two-person job. All in all they work but it is a bad design in my opinion and very easy to hurt your chick or break their leg just trying to put them on...

I had to use two to stay on but they did.

We raise alot of chicks yearly. Inevitably you are going to get a few with splayed leg. It's just the luck of the draw. These are easy to put on and work better than trying to put a bandaid around those tiny legs.

Personally will not use again. Used them on a silkie chick with bad splayed leg. It did In fact help one leg get better. However, the other leg got worse and there’s indentions where the band were around it. They may have worked wonders for others. However I will not use them again.

I love the fact that the chicks feel no discomfort once in place. Had two silkie chicks with splay legs and they had no issue. They were walking around as if they had nothing on. Thank goodness for this item, I was kind of losing hope for a min. I definitely recommend this item to those thinking of hatching or already hatching baby chicks.

An sich ist die Idee gut. Der Gummi ist auch dick genug das er nicht einschneidet. Das ist aber von der Größe eher was für Wachtelküken oder Küken, welche ein paar Tage alt sind. Ansonsten wird das Gummi nämlich zu klein. Im Grunde ist man da besser dran wenn man selber was bastelt in der Größe wo man es braucht

far too big for budgie chick, disappointed

Thank you quality is really good and the service was excellent

Il est très utile lors de la première semaine pour replacer des pattes écartées des poussins.
