i have a baby chick when hatch i noticed after i got them out to move into the brooder that it couldn't walk so i would try to help it and i did baby aspirin in their water for bout 3 days and noticed she started to try to get up and walk but noticed her one leg she wouldn't put pressure on it and only could stand on one leg.
she got feelings in it cause seen her moving her toes sometimes.
i don't know what could do to see if she can even try to put pressure on it and walk on both legs instead of like hoping one her one leg ?
Any ADIVICE ?
THANKS !

AND ALSO : SHES HEALTHY SHE EATS DRINKS GETS AROUND NOW AND COMMUNICATES WITH THE OTHER CHICKS. ITS JUST HER LEG I THINK IT HAPPENED WHEN SHE WAS HATCHING OR SOMETHING WENT ON WHILE IN THE EGG?
I HAVE THEM ON THAT NUTERENA COUNTRY FEED MEDCIATED CHICK FEED AND I ALSO HAVE GAVE THEM FOR THREE DAYS IN THEIR WATER MIXED MAKES GALLON
CAN BE BOUGHT AT TSC. ELETRCOLYTES / PROBOTICS . CAN READ UP ON THAT GOOGLE TSC .
 
:confused:. If it hatched that way...not sure it's fixable. Sorry...I can't help.
 
its okay thank you ! i read up on it and says that they will grow and still get around eat and everything else but will only have 1 leg to stand on ? idk what to try to do for it beside taken to vet and aint much they would probably say
 
I can't really really tell from the pics, as I'm on mobile. Is it dislocated? Slipped tendon?

Here's what I would try if it were mine. Hold your left hand out, palm up, fingers toward the right, in front of your chest. Lay the chick's belly in your left hand, feet pointing back toward your body, overhanging your pinky finger/palm. Grasp the feet and legs between your right thumb and forefinger. Slowly lower your left hand (kinda bowling ball or lawn-dart starting motion) and let the bird dangle for just a few seconds. Twist your wrist outward, and the bird's reaction should be to lift its head/chest/body upward toward your hand. (keep your hand under, but not touching, and don't drop her! lol) When it does, you can re-grab the body. This will sometimes "reset" a slipped hip or knee joint. It won't hurt the bird, and I would think its worth a try.
