Chick hatches on Wednesday. Was in large group. I took her today to help her not get trampled. She looks ok but wont bend leg. Can hop a bit. Didnt note any discoloration or bruising. Doubt a splint will work. Any ideas? Please? I dont plan on giving up on her.
My hen all of a sudden started high stepping/limping. I checked the bottom of her foot for thorns or cuts and see nothing. She will lift her foot and leg out straight and it seems like her foot isn’t very strong. What could this be? Can I give her anything, meds?
