My little gineau keet has it's leg out of place, and I don't know what to do. The leg is at a 90° angle from where it should be and is having a lot of trouble walking and getting food and water. The little keet is a few weeks old and it might be too late to do anything about the leg, I do know that this is a common problem with gineau fowls though I am a first timer and don't know what to do, and I really don't want to put him down. If anyone knows what to do it would be greatly appreciated 😞 here's some pictures

It is most likely a slipped tendon. You can search this forum for slipped tendon. It is the same treatment for a slipped tendon in chickens. The tendon has to be put back in place and then secured there by some sort of brace.

The prognosis is not good for a successful outcome. Personally, I would cull it.
