I have a 2-day old Australorp chick who can't walk. One of her hips seems to be dislocated, but she has not hurt herself - she came out of the egg all crumpled up and her wing has a bit of a 'dent'.
So I tried the bandaid method, but she ended up just flopping everywhere and getting into weird positions. I took it off, did it again but this time splinted the leg with a Qtip. Same result. Now I have the chick taped to the counter so it can't flop everywhere and has to stand with the spint.
Does anyone have any tips for me? This chick has a drastically twisted hip.
