[New guinea mom]

Hi we have wilde guinea fowl that alway come ad have there babys in our garden and stay for a few weeks. To day we noticed they are hatched and one has a bad led so he/she keeps getting left behind and cant climb up anywhere. The leg feels like its got strength but its draging behind so cant walk on it. Please help

It may be a slipped tendon (which might be fixed) or a leg bone deformity (which cannot be fixed.) Many chicks have to be culled. Here are some links to read about each of those:
