Hello all,
I recently received 2 chicks which are about a month old, with 1 of them having what appears to be a deformed leg. As far as I know the chick has had it since birth. The joint has minimal movement and appears to be swollen, but not filled with fluid. The chick does not appear to be in any pain, is eating and drinking, and moves around by hopping. Is there any way I can fix/help this chick? If not, is the chick going to be able to live a full, albeit slightly clumsier, life?
