Slipped Tendon?

[Silkie Sue]

Hi there,
i have a 4 week old shamo baby that has been walking funny since yesterday, i could not find alot of helpful advice so maybe my progress will help someone down the road. i saw a utube video and a lady was trying to manipulate the tendon back into the groove on the back of the hock, i have also tried it but i don't see any improvement. i may talk to my vet in the morning and will update
i will take a video of the chick and insert into the comments

Apparently I can’t upload the video...I will try to figure that out

Try posting the video to YouTube and then posting a link here. A still picture of it standing may help. Google “leg bone deformities in poultry,” and look for articles on The Poultry Site, and one by R. Julian which have pictures of varus valgus and TD deformities. Many people confuse slipped tendon with those, and they can affect one or both legs.
