Sorry about your chick mine also had to be put down as a vet told me wonky was in too much pain and its not fixable poor things at least we tried a lot just get killed straight away x rip peanut and wonky

I did, the joint was very sore and quite rigid , il scared I may have left it too late, I will try again today, it hates me touching the leg and pecks me and wriggles, he'd getting quite strong so will be a shame if it won't. Even though I saw that thread, I still don't exactly understand what...

It is a few threads down I meant

I'm on my phone so can't link it , it's a few down from here 'chick born with wonky leg' the photo is a 3rd post , your chicks leg is at a slightly different angle to mine

Thank you, I think I found the post, but do u know the cut off for treatment :/ I'm terrifies of just making it worse or hurting it

I am having the same problem, is it standing on its elbow, and leg sticking forward? check my thread called 'chick born with Wonky leg' for a photo, except mine is eating. I really want to save it :(

sorry its not great quality, its the only one I have, it can use its other leg fine it just looks weird, its the one nearest to us that is the problem.

I meant to say aswell that he cant fully straighten or put any pressure on this leg, I can flex it gently but it doesn't go very far and he pulls away.

Hi there, I have kept chickens in the past but am no means an expert actually I know quite little, but I have recently taken in a new chick, who has a 'wonky leg' I have named him wonky...his little leg sticks forward, and he uses his elbow to balance and its got all sore. he can wiggle his toes...
