One of my chicks, a ten-12 week old sizzle, has hurt her leg. The other ten chickens are growing faster then her and somehow in the pushing and shoving in their house she got hurt. I can't really tell what the injury is since I am new at this. I put pictures below. It has been two days since I noticed that she was hurt. I came in for the nightly check up and she was laying on the ground like she was dead and the other chicks were walking all over her. Once I picked her up I noticed that she was alive so I took her inside to our hospital box and gave her food and water. Once she had more energy I noticed her walking really wobbly and favoring one side. She drops her hurt leg straight out behind her but she can curl her toes and control her leg. I think it may be a broken toe because one looks all white and it bending in an odd way but I am not 100% what it's supposed to look like.
Here are pictures: Thoughts?
I have her in our kitchen in a box with pine shavings and food and water and I gave her 16 mg aspirin. Any other suggestions? Can she live like this?
