We rescued this baby chick after a wild chicken mother abandoned her outside outer coup.
She was walking fine when we got her. She couldn't have been more than a day old when we brought her in. She's been in her own container with heat lamp, chick food, and Vitamin enriched water. As she's gotten older, she can't walk. She will hobble a bit and fall over with both legs out to the right. The back claw on one side is turned in and the other turned out. Most of the time she lays on her side, but she is growing and eating. Her poop is normal as well.
We are worried that she has a broken leg or foot, I've heard about splaying and Mericks, but I don't know if that's what she has.
If anyone know of anything I can do. I've even though about stuffing the bottom of her claw with cotton balls and taking them to a flat surface, but I'm afraid that will hurt her.
The avian isn't open where we live because of the holiday, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
