How to build muscle in the thigh

[Harleigh]

One of the chicks I got this year had a terrible accident when we first put her out in the pen with the others; she squeezed through a little hole and got a huge gash on her inner thigh.When she was recovering she lost all of the muscle on her inner thigh. Also, somehow her knee healed side ways. Instead of staying straight forward, it turns out. So now her leg sticks out to the side.Is there any way I could help her build the muscle in her thigh back up? Or turn her leg back forward? Any advise would really help.

Sounds to me like the muscle that was joined to the tendons that held her leg straight via countering the other muscles has been lost and the other group of muscles has pulled her leg out sideways. If the muscle-tendon group responsible for holding it right has been lost there's not too much you can do, but, that's not a guarantee, there may be something.

Can you provide any photos and any description of how she moves and copes? This will help people give you a better answer.

Best wishes.
