i first noticed the drooping right wing. a day later, i am seeing the little chick also hobbling, clearly favouring its left foot. in the meantime, both wings are drooping (the right more than the left).
i can not feel the tendon slipping, the joint also does not appear swollen (at least not significantly).
otherwise, the little bird is eating and drinking normally, interested in its surroundings and hobbling around with its mom & flock if i let it. no other birds in the flock show signs of illness.
i have separated it together with a non-threatening 'friend' to restrict its movements.
i am giving 1/4 81mg aspirin 3 times as well as electrolytes/vitamins in drinking water.
here is a video:
any suggestions what might cause this?
