The hock/knee joint is usually where the slipped tendon would be. It's very very likely that is what we're dealing with if it is only one leg. @MGG has more experience with this stuff though.I'm not sure if its a tendon or not. If it is, it's higher up in the "knee" joint. Both legs feel the same when placed in correct position. There is no swelling or redness. The chick attempts to use the leg and there appears to have full motion when in correct position... it just can't seem to keep it in correct position
Is there a way to tell?
It gets stressed/yells at me from me handling it to put the brace on/off but doesn't appear to be in pain otherwise.
It actually pecked at some starter feed and is drinking well from a syringe while I held it, in the brace.
Can you post a photo of the chick trying to walk/stand?
