HELP! Injured Chick - Leg

[Ruggax]

Hi all!

I had 2 chicks hatch 9 days ago and all has been well until today.

I noticed one of them was laying down at the feeder to eat and when I went to reach into the brooder she hopped up and limped under the heating plate.

Her leg seems to be causing some pain but it doesn’t look broken or bruised so I don’t know what could be wrong or how I can help her.

I have put a link to a video below, the poor thing doesn’t look ok at all, she seems hunched up as well and she was a perfectly healthy, fine chick just yesterday.

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

I would get some b complex tablets at Walgreens, Walmart and crush 1/2 tablet in a spoonful of water and give to her for extra riboflavin. Chick vitamins sometimes have riboflavin so those are okay. I would make sure that she is not bullied, but that she is getting enough to eat. Hopefully, it is just a hurt leg. Here is some reading in case it is a slipped tendon.
