Hello. New chicken mama here. We bought 6 buff brahma chicks about 5 weeks ago. Today when changing their bedding we noticed one of them was more stressed than the others and limping a bit. Her left knee is almost twice the size of her right and shes just carrying herself differently. She leans to the side like she wants to hold out the injured leg to the side. They are in a kiddie pool at the moment and it is possible she injured herself running around with the others. They are getting bigger and with food/water/perches that kiddie pool is getting small quick. I haven't noticed any fighting between them (other than a peck if someones face is too close while eating) to think she was beat up. My question is what could I do to help? Would it be best to remove her so she doesn't accidentally get run over or would that stress her out more? Her leg doesn't seem broken but would a splint of some sort maybe help? Or a wrap of some sort to take down any swelling? I'm just not quite sure what the best route is...if there is one.
