Thanks for that, she was a sweetie though I am glad she isn't suffering anymore.
That is wonderful news about the little one, I bet she will be right as rain in no time! :)
 
I have a chick who I tried splinting because we thought it was a splayed leg but now one leg goes forward and one goes backward even with the splint. She doesn't seem to be in any pain at all but has to kind of hop fly. She is 9 days old - also now she keeps her good leg kind of squated...
 
Here are some images. She has a splint on now.

No swelling...it looks like the valgus-varus where it is twisted at the "knee". It does not seem to hurt at all to twist it straight. I got it straight and taped it, and then to the other leg but the other chicks started picking on her then. Before that she moved around fine and no one bothered her...so I took it off and put her in a playpen as described in the article. I am ordering vitamins and don't know what else to do...
