Bad leg on baby chick 3 days old

[lojo694]

My baby chick stands on one foot. When it tries to put the other one down it draws and he pulls it back up? What should I do? Anyone??

If it's deformed, I'd bump it off. If it hops around all the time, it's going to be a lot weaker than the other chicks and when they grow up, it'll be picked on. If it doesn't seem deformed, or you don't was to kill i, then leave it and see what happens.

try checking his foot he could have a splinter. I wouldn't think you kill it give him some TLC

Me either. He she sticks it out to Side and hops around with the rest of the chicks. Nothing in the foot. I think it's a slipped tendon which we tried to pull it back in place but it wouldn't. How she's a hen do she'll have a little better life with the one foot.
