Redwing Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Have you tried searching the forum for an answer or googling? get a plaster, cut it horizontally across so you have a thin strip of it, place the gauze bit so that it acts as a separator between the chicks legs and fold the sticky bits round its legs In my limited experience it doesnt have a high rate of success, maybe one in three have been ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
