Looking for a break?

Looking to see if the hock is swollen and possible slipped tendon.

I’m taking notes!

Someone else recently had a chick whose leg would not bend at the hock joint. Make sure that she can get to food and water, and sometimes a chick chair might help. Here is a link with pics of chick chairs and slings:

I would not.

Not just to one leg. The one site mentioned keeping pad distance apart and putting sticky part around both to pull together. Dont do that? The "chair" is to keep off her face? How should I position her legs to help her heal?

What was the cause of that one not being able to bend it's leg?
