Chicken ankle brace, hinged

thingiverse

This is an ankle brace for chickens to give lateral support. It can be attached easily to the ankle and leg with stretchy self-adhesive bandage tape. I recommend gluing thin foam or cloth to the concave surfaces and inner edges of the hinge to prevent skin abrasion. This model is designed for larger meat chickens but the model is low resolution and can be easily scaled/modified for your specific animal. For strongest results, print with concave opening pointing up, using support material. Layer adhesion issues will make the joint weak if you print it vertically.
