I dropped by 2 week old hen :( Will she be okay

[pauren34]

I was holding my little 2 week old and she wiggled out of my hands and fell about 4 1/2 feet to carpet. She is laying down now. She will get up on her own but is limping and not appling weight to her foot. What can i do. Will she be okay. I am so upset. This is my first batch of chicks and I cant believe I let this happen. Please any advice will help.

Thanks

It helped that it was on carpet. hope someone with more info comes along. for now keep her quiet and in a place where she cannot move around alot.

Most likely it just got a bit hurt from falling. Just check it, make sure other chicks aren't walking on it if it is laying down.

Also, with the limping does it still walk around good or does it just limp and can't really walk?

She is able to walk around but does have a pretty good limp going. You can tell it's not comfortable to put weight on it. She will stand and eat. I hope she is okay. Thanks for the advice
