So we just our first order of chicks in the mail, 31 arrived safe, 1 got a little roughed up on the way.
I don't have any pics, but essentially it's left hock is bent backwards. Yesterday it just seemed to prefer keeping the leg straight, so we separated it from the others but it got considerably worse overnight.(to the point of being reversed)
Where I worked we just got rid of them, but my 'rents are insisting on keeping it. So is there anything that can be done for the leg? It's not walking very well, falls over more then it manages to hobble about. I'd say it's in pain, (listless, shaking) but it still eats and drinks enough, though not as voraciously as the others.
Thanks in advance,
