I found one of my just under a week old chicks limping around my chicken coop with there mum. Under further investigation it has no full back response in its leg and doesn't use that leg at all. I think it's broken above the Knee? Elbow? (Whichever) as she cheps continuously until I stop...
I was wondering what cross breed my chick might be?
The possible parents of her clutch
Roosters
Silver double laced barnevelder
Silkies
Exchequer leghorn
Hens
ISA Browns
Hamburgs
Silkies
Austrolorp x
Hamburg x silkies
Silkie x ISA Brown
Any help will be greatly appreciated
