I need some help. I posted about this in the chick section and haven't gotten any responses so I thought maybe this area would be more appropriate. I hatched out chicks and one of them looks like she has spraddle leg at least that is what I though after research. She will not put weight on one leg, holds it out to the side and hops on the other one to get around. This causes her to be unbalanced and has a hard time. I put the bandaid around her legs and it pulled her leg in to where it is supposed to be but I don't see where that would make a difference if she isn't putting weight on it at all.
So then I wondered if it might be a slipped tendon. I couldn't find that much info on this to know if that is what it is or not. I did see that her hock is a little swollen and twisted a little. I tried to pull her leg back to stretch it but I didn't see any difference.
She is soo sweet and I really want to help her but I just don't know what to do for her.
