I just got my order of 16 meaties on fiday all was going good until i went out to the brooder this morning and one of the chicks was laying on its side so i picked it up and separated it to a small box and i sat it upright and it just keeps sitting up i think theres something wrong with its leg. Newbie to meat bird i expected it to happen but not this early. Is there anything i can do?
 
Keep him separated. Make sure that he is in fact eating and drinking. Get some poly vi sol, without iron, children's vitamins and give him a drop per day. Save a chick in the water would not be a bad thing either.
