BO chick has limp

[prancie]

she's 8 weeks old, carries it when she runs but limps when walking. The elbow/knee joint seems to be where the problem is, i can flex it but she complained. I suppose all i can do is let it heal, but i thought I would consult you guys.

Sounds like it injured the leg somehow and probably time is all it needs. If it uses the leg at all, it's not broken. Watch for swelling or if it stop using the leg totally. Then some sort of intervention will be needed. If you can isolate it (with another chick or 2) to a smaller cage so it can rest it's leg that might help it heal faster.
Good luck.
