Hello, about two or three weeks ago one of our buff orphington hens hatched a chick of her own kind and an adopted egg from our barred rock hen. Sadly two other chickens didn't make it out of their eggs, but such is life. The underwear chick was healthy but I found the barred chick crawling in...

My 5-day old polish chick is limping. I don't see any obvious injury to her left leg or foot. She can bend her toes around my finger but she appears to not want to put weight on her foot. She is eating and drinking. What should I do?
