Chick chair/Broken leg

[StarrzDopee]

My roommate brought home chicks, I have NEVER had chickens and honestly

didn't know how to take care of them. Still am learning. My chick hurt its leg. It won't put any weight on it. So I made a "chick chair" really it was a guess and I'm not sure what is okay and what isn't so could you take a look and tell me if it will work?! Or if I could make it better somehow? I love this little guy or

Girl like I said I know nothing about chickens =\

How is your chick doing? Leg injuries or leg bone deformities can be common. Is the chick alert and eating/drinking well? Could it move at all before you put it in the chick chair? They need to learn how to eat and drink normally on the floor. Here is a good site to look over about splay leg, and other leg problems: https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry

It wasn't moving at all when I put it in the chicken chair. I was just trying to get him off of his leg. He's doing fine as far as I can tell. The first two days I had to bring food and water to him. Now he's hopping around some, he hangs out with me all day and I'm still bringing some food to him but all in all I think he will do fine. Thank you for asking and thank you for the info!
