We got chicks two days ago and our Bantams, the runts,have been the smallest. One of the Bantam's toe got attacked by another chicky, and well I had pry him free. At first it was like he had to do front-flips to move and he'd fall every step he took, but it has gotten a little better. We made him a little separate setup in my room and we wrapped his lower leg closer to his foot to give him back some stabilization. Any advise?
Also he's really lonely and kinda clingy to me. I put a mirror in his cage and seems to like it.
Any suggestions/advise?

Can you please post some photos of the chick, it's foot and toe, your brooder set-up, etc.?
Was the chick having difficulty before it was attacked?
