Chick with hurt leg not growing

[Dustieburk]

I have a chick that has a hurt leg and that has stopped her from growing she has some wing feathers and still has mostly fuzz. The other chicks have almost all their feathers.

If she is still showing signs of injury, I would separate her immediately, if you have not done so already.

Is her leg healed? Is she eating and drinking? Is she being bullied by the others?

Haven't separated her yet. Don't know if her leg is healed. She is eating and drinking and has never stopped even when her leg first got hurt. The others don't peck her or anything like that they do walk over her a little bit. On warm days and nights they stay outside all day tonight is a little bit cold and windy so I put them in. But when they go outside she finds a spot away from the others and lays in the sun. She is not vary active at all she will lay down and sleep when the other ones are flying around and fighting each other. Her leg goes out father than it should. Should I put her down? I don't want to because I only bought two of her breed. If you are wondering what breed she is she is a Delaware.

Use the search function to look for "chick sling." It'll bring up threads containing instructions for creating a support brace for chicks with hurt legs. It will give her time to heal and allow her to take her weight off the leg.

After that, high-protein treats and time.

OK thank you for the help. It is cold were I live and i only have two cages for 15 chicks so when it gets warm again i will separate her from the others.
