2 week old Barred rock pullet can't walk

[Eggcessive]

It is so sad to have one so determined to get around and be with the others, but unfortunately sometimes the leg problems can hold them back. Leg bone deformities such as twisted tibia, and varus valgus deformity are not usually successfully treated.

Since she is trying to get around, you can try her back with the other chicks, and keep her on a good vitamin for a few days to see if she can get enough to eat and drink. Just make sure that she doesn’t get hurt. Euthanizing her would be up to you, since sometimes they can get worse or starve. Here is a link about a little cockerel with a leg deformity that has done okay within a small flock:

Just an update. I made a chick chair out of a yogurt container and she will sit in it for awhile but eventually flaps out. She is trying to walk around on her hocks and using her wings and head and seems to be getting better at it but her legs are twisting now. I am thinking about euthanizing her as her legs seem to be getting worse. I can't imagine how she will live a good life with bent legs. She's desperate to be with the other chicks and will only be consoled if she can see them. Thank you so much for all your help. I really hope it isn't anything contagious.
