Any stories and specific ways you helped a chick at 4 weeks turn its leg around to support it in a normal way would be helpful. I believe my chick is a Delaware (Meyer’s Rainbow Pullet group), therefore she/he will get large and I want to be able to correct the leg to support its weight. Otherwise I may have to put it down.

Thanks

Do you have a picture of the problem or a description of what is happening? You could be describing Marek's symptoms, or a host of other problems.
 
I know it is not a disease, it is more in thigh and hock area. I have a brace on her leg and a sling..Her appetite and attitude is great!. Her leg is splayed and I am not sure I can correct it. I will try to post a picture later, but not really sure how to do it.

Thanks
