looks like one of my little five week old's has a broken or lame leg, looks like there was some sort of injury I don't know what but it is curled up and she isn't using it, she hops on one leg, will she survive with just one leg? she is still eating and drinking and staying with the flock. can I help her at all, bandage it or splint it?
broken leg need advice

use either/both popsilcle sticks and that sticky ace wrap or maybe even just the ace wrap depending on how bad her leg is. don't wrap it to tight, but tight enough to immobilize it. keep her clam and in a separate crate or inside away from her flock mates for aleast a few days. give her some electrolyte solution or chicken vitamins to give her some extra strenght. I bet she will do well with some care
