Hi there, I have kept chickens in the past but am no means an expert actually I know quite little, but I have recently taken in a new chick, who has a 'wonky leg' I have named him wonky...his little leg sticks forward, and he uses his elbow to balance and its got all sore. he can wiggle his toes a bit on said leg, and uses it to scratch his head. its only perhaps 4 or 5 days old if that, and to my understanding he came out of the egg like that or hurt it while hatching ( I am no expert) but they said they will put it down, so we agreed to try and save the little chick which I have got attached to lol poor wonky, he is healthy otherwise, he hobbles around eats loads, cheeps and stuff. we gave him a few drops of bird vitamins too that I saw online, Please does anyone know what this is or know how I can fix it?
Thank you
Thank you
