Help with baby chick leg problem

[gracielouwho]

Please help with this baby chick. I have tried the shoes and vitamin b2 in the water she is 5 days old. She is getting around and eating and drinking is there any hope for her?

I would keep trying to splint the leg and use the riboflavin (B2.) Massage her foot and do some range of motions exercises with her ankle. If she has a leg bone deformity, it may not improve, but if she can get around well enough to get to feed and water, she may live a fairly normal life. Sometimes the tendon in the hock can give out with normal growth. Here are some links to read:
