Well, I got 6 chicks a week ago from TSC and they all seemed fine until a couple days ago when one of the chicks kinda hobble on the right leg. She puts a little pressure on the left but when she does she flaps her wings. I looked at where they bend there legs and it looks a little bigger/bumpier than the right. I have no idea how to cure this and if she will be alright?

Thanks for the info but I just looked at her foot (didn't look at it before) and I'm pretty sure she has bubble foot. How to I cure this on a chick. Also she hasn't really grown like the other ones. A lot smaller
 
Bumblefoot is a staph infection of the foot pad that usually affects older chickens who have been outside and suffered a tiny cut to the foot that has gotten infected. Can you take a picture of the foot and leg? I doubt that it is bumblefoot, but maybe we can help.
