Hello,
A coworker asked if I could take one of their chicks as they did not know what to do (although I feel equally helpless). It is about 5 days old. Hock joint area is swollen as is foot and leg. My initial thought was a slipped tendon but I tried gently stretching leg back as recommended but didn't get any kind of effect. Chick is eating and drinking but limping around on the one good leg and the hock of the other leg. Here are some pictures:

Any suggestions are appreciated!
