Hi all in need of some hurried advice. Noticed one of my ayam cemani chicks that are 7 weeks old limping. Saw nothing obvious a bit of poop stuck to its foot so flicked that off thinking that maybe was why.
Next day chick was down, one leg stretched out in front of it the other leg was fine. I thought splay leg and attempted to strap the leg as you would. All went great but it didn't work. Also slipped tendon went through my mind, tried to feel if tendon was out of place and honestly I felt nothing different comparing two legs
The bad leg seems problematic nearer to the hip of this chick if you hold it on your hand between legs to let them dangle it pulls good leg up and in and the bad leg is outstretched. It's as if it's hip is dislocated or something. No breaks (that I can feel) no swelling (apart from today I noticed its good leg hock is a little swole looking.
It's now been a few days no change, chick is happy as parry eating drinking no pain. But I need answers to see if it's fixable at all.
