Hatching
No injuries or swelling visible to the naked eye. She will only eat wet chick crumble while I hold her in my hand, but drinks from the water in the brooder on her own. Looks like it's gonna be a long few days. She did seem to be trying to use it more today though. Guess I'll hand feed her and see how we get through. As long as she eats and drinks I know there's not really much else other than separation that I can do. Thanks for the reply!Welcome to BYC laceyj!
Do you see any injuries to the chicks leg/foot? Any large swollen areas on the bottom of the foot or leg? If not, I would guess the leg has been injured in some way (like a sprain). You might try separating it from the others for a few days and see if it improves.
