I’m in need of some help/advice. We have 33 ten day old chicks that we moved into their new coop yesterday. The chicks all seemed to run to the same spot and one chick got the brunt of the weight. She is now not walking on her right leg. It seems that her hock is red and swollen. Is this a broken leg? Or a sprain? She does not want to be held and is more comfortable resting under the heat lamp. I’ve been giving her her food in front of her so he doesn’t have to walk. I’ve been giving her water drop by drop. She’s eating and drinking and her poo looks normal. Any ideas how I can help her?
 
Here are some pictures I was able to get. She straightened it and pulled it back on her own.
