Deformed leg??

[whitneylaurin]

This chick hatched yesterday. Its leg is bent and cannot straighten. I have tried gently pulling it down and it can’t get straight. The joint feels bigger than the joints on the other chicks and not smooth. It is hobbling around on its knee/elbow. Any advice?

Is it doing any better today?

It is putting its head up more and can stand on one leg. It is jumping around. No improvement in the leg. We are trying vitamins

Wondering if she ever got better. I have a 2 day old chick with the same issue.
