Chick cant bend leg

[CannonMama]

Chick hatches on Wednesday. Was in large group. I took her today to help her not get trampled. She looks ok but wont bend leg. Can hop a bit. Didnt note any discoloration or bruising. Doubt a splint will work. Any ideas? Please? I dont plan on giving up on her.

Yes. I can bend it with very little complaint from her. I wasnt sire if straddle since only one kinda of frozen straight. Not bent in anyway

Any help is greatly appreciated. Is there a specific picture I should try to take to prove or disprove?

Place the chick down and get a picture from above and the side.

Can you take a video of it walking, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo, then copy and paste the link here?

She is standing now as in last. Cant hold up too long. Toes kinda bent in but she doesn't bare weight on this leg at all

 

[CannonMama]

She hopes if at all. Getting late so she has little interest in moving. Not sure how to do the video upload thing. I can try to get my son to show me...lol
