Help! advice on 6 week old chicken with sprayed legs

[motherofmolly]

i was just given two chickens that are about 6 weeks old. they came thru a friend who was given them to give to someone that had the time. one chicken is fine, the other has a sprayed leg. i felt the leg and it feels normal but it is almost complete behind her. she kind of half flies and scoots using the other leg to get herself around. she is half the size of the other chicken and they were suposably hatched at the same time.

i would like to help her. i feel sorry for her. i tried a piece of cloth but she wasnt having it and it kept coming off. i have been giving her her own little plate for food and water so she gets plenty of food. she eats well and moves around when she feels like it. i just worry about her quality of life right now.

maybe the band aid splint? any suggestions i am willing to try.

thank you for that link!. i wished the the original owner of this chicken would of done something for her earlier. her one leg is completely behind her. i was thinking that her leg was too far grown to do much now.
