it seems one of my chicks may have broke it's leg!!!
I'm at a loss at what to do here. One of my button quail chicks has a leg that is tucked tightly near its body and is using its "knee" in place of the foot. It wasn't like that yesterday so I think it may be broken. Does anybody know how to help it heal or is there completely nothing I can do? -
