I have a 4 week old Speckled Chick that is doing fine, except yesterday it became crippled. I have read on here about a slipped tendon. Can someone give me the exact details on how to put it back in. The chick is eating and drinking, and pooping fine. And seems to be better today but still crippled. I have moved it from the other Chicks.
 
Can you post a clear picture from the front of the chick standing so that we can see the normal leg position (hold it up if needed.)
Here is a link that tells how to put a slipped tendon back in place, so that it can be taped or splinted in place. It may need to be repositioned often. Here is some info:

Thanks, I followed the video and the chick seems to be doing much better, still a little cripple but getting around fine.
