Brand New

Here's one of the newest members to my flock. As you can clearly see from the pic it has a hurt foot.

Right now I have it in the small cat carrier in the house on the kitchen table. I'm giving it homemade electrolyte solution. What I would like to know is how to treat the foot?

How old is it? Can you possibly post a better view of the leg?

I'm hoping these are better pics. I think it's 3-4 days old but not sure. Saw it for the first time yesterday afternoon.
Here's a pic of Mama #2 and the other baby:

Since it was brooded outdoors I am only assuming it not hatch related. Give vitamins and electrolytes. It is a good sign she can stand. I'll sit back and read the opinions from others. She is so cute!

She will need a flat surface to heal faster.

Right now she is in the hospital ( small cat carrier on kitchen table).

How are you able to tell it's a hen? It's still very young.

I have a hard time sexing chicks. They are hard newly hatched.

I had Squeaker facing away from me. This is also something else I noticed. How could something like this be fixed?
