Crud. Well, it's swollen and pinkish in color, and the blood is red. The chick doesn't seem to be in pain, and I applied Neosporin to it.

I'm going to apply some heavy duty chicken antibiotic to the hock I think

 

[fluffychicken24]

So no one knows if they can live with this?

Y'all are very helpful -.-

Eh. Sorry. I just can't figure out how to fix her leg without bleeding

Here are instructions on posting photos: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/inserting-pics-in-on-the-new-byc

Maybe you can email the pic to yourself & then download it from the email onto your computer, and then upload it into a BYC message?

Or can you get the photo from your phone into your Facebook account? There are instructions on how to post photos you've saved in FB on the thread above.

It's probable the chick can't live alright if you aren't able to quickly find a solution for her leg problem. I'll try to watch for photos you can post & give you any advice I can come up with. Please post photos as soon as you can. I'll probably be able to reply my midday tomorrow.

I am so sorry attempts to work with the tendon caused a problem! It can be hard & confusing, I know... I've tried before without success or enough info.

If you can, please try to post a close-up of the back of both hocks, as well as photos of the chick standing up from both sides. Thanks!

We really need to see a close up of it to give advice, that's what I've been waiting for.

I suggest taking your poor little chicky to the vet right away!
