This is much better than those double-banded loops they sell. The string looks like it lets their legs move more freely. The premade ones have them tripping. Also the loops on this would be easier to get around their sqirmy legs..... I tried the shot glass technique and found that not to work, ever, since they always manage to jump out.... I recently fixed a splay by putting it into a paper egg carton. They can run around and go from slot to slot but the wall tapers so it always falls to the bottom with legs directed in. That worked so well that I though about making one with a paper bottom and clear top to watch. Of course I punched more airholes before closing the lid.
@@thelarochellefarm595 Thank you so much! You can tell I have never undone zip ties ever lol. I was thinking of how to get the clippers between the leg and the tie itself. I'm a dummy!

He stay pimpin
I just did this this morning with a piece of bandaid...funny this came out the same day.
Normally I cull, I am also starting not to like the blue paper towels. I am find the good bounty paper towels seem to be better and less slippery
This helped so much! Thank you for posting this
Glad it helped👍
I tried this today with a chick that hatched yesterday. Seems to be moving around better. Hopefully it will cure the cute little one.
Usually a couple days with it on and you are good to go.
Where is your necklace???
Oops
How hard is it to cut the zip ties off afterward?
Very easy, I cut the locking piece of the zip tie using my dog nail trimmer and that allows it to fall apart.

@@dawns.2492 no it’s a good question.
Any fertility problems?
I’m guessing you mean after? None that I am aware of.
@@thelarochellefarm595 You mentioned a lack of birds. Just wondering if it was a factor.
@@raymccarty4612 no sorry, I need to increase my bird count quickly which is why I put the effort into helping the splayed leg one
