chick with injured leg.

[Anonymous Chicken]

Hello~
I'd like some advice regarding a chick that is 4 days old. We had to remove her from the mother hen because she was stepped on by the hen and her leg was injured. This was yesterday (6/20). We're not sure if it's broken, out of the socket or just painful. She is holding up her leg in a perpetual "high five". It pains her, we can tell, but we aren't sure if there is anything we can do to help her. Her joint looks a bit swollen, but it is hard to tell for certain.

Thank you!

Hi, I have a chick with this similar issue. Leg up and looks swollen and limping. Did your chick heal?
