ı have a chick of 2-3 weeks and today she jumped from my hand while I was carrying her to her house. She fell on the ground and I believe she injured her leg. She is limping but when I touch her injured leg she doesnt sound like she is in pain. The upper ankle(? İdk what it is called) seems to have a smal red strike on it but I couldnt see anoy other singns of injury. What should I do? Could it be serious? she can move her fingers and skratch her uead but just cant step on it. And when I take her in my hand to examine her leg it seems more loose than the other leg
Edit: one day has passed and her leg looks the same as the other one but she is still liöpimg and wont step on it

Sorry you haven't gotten any responses. I don't really know what to do.

If the leg doesn't seem broken you might just give it a few more days. If she still won't use it you could try splinting it with some toothpicks and vetwrap?
