Hello I'm hoping I can get some help/advice on how to help my little chick.
The chick has been fine up until today all of a sudden it can't stand. It won't put weight on its one leg and keeps pecking at it. I brought it in for a closer look and it seems to have a cut/injury in behind its leg. I cleaned it and used iodine gental spray and some vetericyn. Now I'm not sure what to do. Should I leave it as is and keep an eye on it and keep it clean and gently move it? Or should I wrap it? I'm not sure if it's just a cut and sore or if it's broke or sprained etc..

Thank you for you help!
