    Baby chick with crooked leg

    I recently adopted a little chick with an injured leg. She walks like she's off balance and tends to either hold it up, or lean against a wall for support. I couldn't find any sores when I examined her, so I'm not sure what the problem is, or if it's fixable. Her leg tends to stick out to the...

    Chick with a bad foot

    Got some chicks from my neighbor and one of them has a wired looking foot. It seems somewhat healthy otherwise. I just want to know if there’s something I can do to help it. It walks, eats and drinks normally. I tried my best to take a pic of it. If more pics are needed I’ll gladly take more.
