5 Day old Peachick can't use his left leg

[ShellP]

I have a new peachick that can't use his left leg. The hock area seems swollen and he just lays down mostly. Is there anything I can do to help him?

I have seen people use a pipe cleaner and tape it to his leg and mabie his foot if he needs it. I had an americauna with a bad foot (her toes were curled from poor incubation humidity) and after lots of reserch I found that people use pipe cleaners as splints and taped the toes, so I am sure y ou can tape the leg. Good luck, and hope he does ok.
