    Broken leg, foot or toes? *new chicken owner*

    Hi all! Unfortunately one of my 4-week-old chicks got stepped on by my 4-year-old kiddo yesterday when we were outside. She is now limping and staying off of her left foot as much as she can. We have done our best efforts of trying to look at the leg to see what the issue is. Nothing seems...
