Hi, I'm semi-new to BYC. I've had my Flock for just about a year with no serious problems. But things happen.
My Game fowl hen became broody in April and had six healthy chicks. About a week ago one of my roosters got in with the hen, and I assume that he trampled on one of the chicks.
At first the chick wouldn't eat or drink for a few days, and couldn't stand up or even move her legs. I couldn't post earlier but now she's doing better. Except that she now has a crooked neck and she stumbles when she walks. At least she eats and drinks on her own now, but I wanted to know if there is anything I could to help her out with her neck. I appreciate any help I can get.
The chicken with the broken toe happens to be the same Game fowl hen, this very chick's mom. I noticed this afternoon that she was limping when she walked. When I picked her up I saw that her middle toe was broken and had a black spot discoloration and this worries me. I think she must of caught it a wire or something. Should I take her to the Vet, or let it heal with a splint? Please help.
Here's some photos of the chick, but she's sleepy right now. I'll post photos of her and the Game fowl hen tomorrow. Thank you so much for your time and advice.
