    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    I've been giving her vitamins for a while now and her legs aren't improving at all. She doesn't seem to be in any pain but I can't let her suffer.... she can't even walk to her food or water. I've got a vet tech who's a family friend the I plan on calling who hopefully can help.

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    I don't know if you can really tell how the leg looks but these are the best pics I could get. Her leg seems to get stuck like that and she can't walk.

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    Update: She's now eating and drinking on her own like normal. But she can't walk at all. I've been keeping her in the "hammock" I made but it's not working. Her "knees" bend backwards.... I've tried splinting her leg so the knee can heal but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    There's no order to her breath and I'm feeding her a mix of cracked corn and starter feed along with the tuna and eggs. I keep a source of grit where she can get to it at all times. She's currently in a cage in my house bc I couldn't leave her with my other chickens. I checked the crop yesterday...

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    I've tried offering her food and she just started pecking a little by herself. I don't know how to describe her crop it's weird. I kinda feels like she's full of water and nothing else. It's bulging way out but its really squishy.

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    Yes but I don't think she's pooping enough though. Her poop is very runny when she does poop but her crop is full and bulging out. I haven't feed her since last night.... should I be worried and if so what can I do to help her?

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    Thank y'all so much she seems to be getting better today but she still won't eat. She is drinking a little by herself though. I'll keep giving her the vitamins and hopefully she'll get better.

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    Thank you so much for the info..... but if I get these vitamins in her will she come back and start eating herself? Right now I have to force feed her everything she eats. Also will her toes straiten out by themselves and will her legs go back by themselves? I've done a lot of research on this...

    Gimpy and Dying Chick!!! What do I do??

    I have a 4 to 5 week old chicken that I saved 9 days ago because the mother hen wasn't taking care of it. It was slow and had gimpy feet and legs. She falls over very easily and if you picked her up and them put her back down the toes would curl up and she would face plant. She had been getting...
