Hi all,
My chicks will be 2 weeks old this sunday. I was checking them this evening and noticed one of them had a slight swelling on the left leg.
I watched her for a few minutes and she's walking fine, no limping. She's eating and drinking fine too.
So I grabbed her up to look closer. It's on the left thigh, slightly in front of it and slightly inside of it and on it.
It's not a 'hard' swelling, It was somewhat 'gushy', and it didn't seem to hurt her any when I was touching it.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong or what it might be? They're inside the house now, so I'd be willing to bet it isn't any kind of sting (which would be a 'hard' swelling anyway).
Thanks for any advice or ideas.
