I have a week old baby who appears to have a leg injury. I didn't notice the issue until day three after the hatch. I hatched this baby myself. I am wondering if it is slipped tendon, splayed legs or if its broken. I tried putting a hobble on it for two days and the chick still didn't put any pressure on the foot. She/he seems to be more comfortable without the brace and is healthy in every other way. I am wondering:
1) what do you think the cause is?
2) could she live if I don't freerange her?
3) will the flock reject her?
4) is it best to cull her off?
