Advice please

[Nancie]

Hello,
I saw that this little baby (8 weeks... white leghorn) wasn’t wanting to walk around. Just sitting. When she did, she would hesitate to use her foot. Took her out and saw that she an area with what looked like some dried mud/blood so soaked it with n warm water. Now, looks bruised, and like she somehow got a little injury here. After cleaning, I put on Neosporin. Hoping it’s not broken.

Any advice? I’m totallynew to chickens... my first time!
Thanks!
Nancie

Sorry to hear about your baby. If it were me I would splint foot for a couple of days.
