I have a 2 day old silky chick that has a splayed leg or slipped Achilles' tendon. His hock is bent forwards or opposite where it should be. I can bend it into the correct position without seeming to harm the chick but it does not stay there. When he is on the ground his leg bends out behind him and the front of his hock is swollen because of it. What is wrong with the chick and how can I fix it?? Please help.
Edit: the bottom part of his leg does not bend foward
