3 day old chick with splayed leg

Awww, you are so kind and was very warm and caring in your explanation. Your chickies are fortunate to have you.

Oh goodness, you just made my day! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this! I am definitely not ready to give up hope just yet!

How is the chick doing? I am praying for you and this little baby!

Oh and one more thing! I have not before seen splayed leg with a backward leg….could it be slipped tendon? I really don’t have much experience with splayed leg or slipped tendon, so I am not on this, just thought I would point it out!

It’s doing the same basically. I bandaged the leg because I don’t have the rubber band or straw. It still refuses to tuck the legs under and won’t eat the mixture but I have tried.

I think I forgot to mention this originally but he also cannot stand up on its own. I’m not sure about the slipper tendon but thank you for bringing that to my attention.

And there is a visible red vein on the bad leg

Hello and welcome to BYC! I hope your chick gets better! You may want to post in the ER forum here, you'll likely get more help there.

Welcome to BYC. Hopefully the chick improves.

Hello, welcome to BYC. I'm sorry that your chick is not well. I think posting in the Emergency forum would be best. Good luck to you both!
