On sale! Give your injured birds a fighting chance with our new Leg Splints. Easily offer home treatment for your chicks with curled toes, broken toes, feet or leg issues. The Splints were originally designed to help with a duck's broken leg, and have also been found useful when treating a broken foot, splayed leg, curled toes, tendon issues, arthritis's from old age, or any other foot issue your birds might have! They also makes a great addition to an at-home First Aid Kit. First Aid supplies are always best to have on-hand rather than waiting for an emergency, right?

Poultry Splint Instructions
-
Step 1: Wrap the chick's leg with a single layer of a gentle, self-adherent wrap , such as Sensi Wrap. Make sure that the back toe(s) are sticking out of the wrap (not caught up inside it).
-
Step 2: Apply and position the splint such that the back toe is sticking out of the opening in the back of the splint. Refer to photos above for guidance.
-
Step 3: After positioning the splint correctly, use more self-adhering adhesive wrap to secure everything in place. Bandages should be removed and replaced daily to allow adjustments for growth.
Chicks may not be able to walk while being splinted and may need to be hand-fed and supported until they are healed. We recommend using a Peep Pouch to help cuddle your chick safely during this time.
Made in the USA. The splint is reusable and dishwasher safe! The add-on self-adherent wrap is made of non-woven material which is breathable, lightweight and soft, causing less irritation to the skin. This bandage tape contains latex.

Chicken Splints for Curled Toe, Broken Legs, Broken feet (4 Sizes) 1.0 Chick Size- Green
These are priceless and have helped us so much this year. They work great for us with the vetwrap holding them in place. We have each size but I wish they came a little bigger for my ducks also.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review of our Chicken Splints! They are very helpful and we are always happy to hear that they have assisted any birds and their flock keepers! The largest size (2.5) may work for a duck as they are listed for them as well as other larger birds such as roosters, large hens and turkeys. That splint has a 2.5" deep foot pad and is 2.5" tall.

Terrible product. The toes just curl on the splint. Not helping at all.

Chicken Splints for Curled Toe, Broken Legs, Broken feet (4 Sizes) 1.0 Chick Size- Green
For curled toe. It would have been more useful to have the three toes separated so I could splint them better.

Thank you so much for your helpful feedback on our Chicken Splints. We truly appreciate you taking the time to provide us with valuable information. We are sorry that you felt that it would have been more useful to have the three toes separated. One option would be to use band-aids or self-adherent wrap to position and immobilize the toes. Splints are designed to assist with a variety of leg issues, we will, however, consider your suggestion for any future designs.
