HELP!! CHICK WITH HURT LEG!!!

[12 gauge]

one of our RIR chick has a hurt leg when he trys to walk it is just limp but he is outside with his momma what do we do!?

 

[GitaBooks]

Chickens can limp for these reasons:

A strain, which heals pretty quickly
A break, a chick with a broken leg is unlikely to try to walk that much
Partial paralysis caused by a disease or vitamin deficiency (provide riboflavin)
A dislocation (the leg will drag)
A tendon problem (will be swollen looking at the hock)
