HI !

So I've hatched my baby chicks in a incubator, and had two leg deformities, one was a splayed leg , which is currently being treated , but the other one , cannot straighten it's one leg , I've tried everything !! He sometimes stands on just the one and hops around , and at other times he lies down and walks on the hocks , it's not a slipped tendon , as I've read and tried everything to-do with slipped tendons , the hock doesn't have movement inside at all past a certain point , at can however bend more inward and the toes can move , but it wont straighten past a certain point . Also , theres a part that bleeds aswell , which looks swolen , but it's hard like bone

Hi, we rescued a chick with the same issue yesterday. I’m worried he may not make it as it’s both legs. Did you ever find out what was wrong?
