Bantam chick leg problem.

[Rommy]

Hi folks! I have a baby bantam that we put in the back apart from the others due to a lame leg. (I work at TSC) I brought it home but need some serious advise on how to address the issue with it's little leg...it is soooo tiny I don't know what is wrong with it's leg. It holds it out and can't seem to put any weight on it at all. I am going to attempt and post a video I took so you can hopefully see how it favors the leg. Maybe some of you experienced folk can offer some sage advice so I can help this little one. Just lost a little crested duckling I brought home that could not even stand up. Truly hoping I can help this little one.

Hi there, sorry no one was able to respond, how is your bird doing?

Hi Isaac, The baby didn't make it. He/she was a little fighter though. Made me and hubby both want a bantam. I have two guinea I have just gotten old enough to go in the coop/run hubby built for them. Will attempt to mix them with my hens when I trust they have acclimated to their pen enough to return when I get the hens in at night. May try to introduce a couple of bantams this fall to the crew! Thanks for your inquiry as to the little one's condition. Told hubby I will not bring anymore baby's that are compromised home from work anymore; discovered, between a baby duck and the little bantam, I am def. not Mrs. DoLittle. Thanks again!
