Alright. Check this, please.
Heart rate should be at 250 per minute.
Breaths per minute should be 400.
Is the joint hot?
Any signs of fever?
Please try tagging silverbirds, or yardmom? Tey might know more than i do but i am going to try my best.

Joint is hot, normal heartbeat, no fever but a little bit warm

Sorry to bother you, but how do you tag?
 
Haha, i figured you would know, i don't unless you are starting a thread... sorry! Lemme check around, send them a message, see if they will visit...
 
ALright, so i commented on them... hopefully they respond. Meanwhile, if the joint IS hot, see if you can cool it with an ice cube. MAke sure to have her drink or force drink her if needed. Try to get her to eat also.
 
It looks like the leg could be broken at the hip, if it’s floppy the chick might need some sort of cast to keep it in place. I wouldn’t force the chick to drink water since that can easily result in asphyxiation. Instead you can fill a small container with water and dip the tip of the chick’s beak in.
