When we took my chick out of the incubator one of her legs seemed to sit oddly. When she walked she would bend the bad leg leaning on the knee, and it would jut out a bit. We put a hobble on tying her legs together to help bring the leg back in. It seemed to improve a bit the 1st day but not much after that. She can now stand up, but only really uses one leg, occasionally using the other for balance like a kickstand, but not really putting much weight on it. We have been trying to do types of physical therapy and I tried to see if it was a slipped tendon by gently pulling the leg back and feeling around but I didn't feel anything. Its keeping her from being able to eat and drink well and I'm concerned It may hurt her later in life if not fixed. Any idea what it is? How to fix it?
