So my friend hatched a chick about a day ago (only out of seven) and they have noticed recently its hobbling quite seriously and there's a quite red bruise on the "knee".
I assume she probably got it whilst hatching, but I'm mostly worried about her adapting to it as she grows and then walking funny in the future(I can't imagine that would be good) anyway anyone know how best to treat it, or if he should just leave it on soft bedding and stuff?
Extra info: She's a columbian black tail, he said he dropped her once but caught her in his hands, most of the other eggs had some development so it was quite a weak brood, I'm sure she doesn't have splayed legs or curled toes or anything..
This is the photo he sent
