I dropped my chick!! Help!

[starlight481]

I was standing and holding a chick and it walked/hopped off my hand and onto the hardwood floor from standing height. I scooped it up quick, held it, then set it down on a flat surface and it was limping. It was not holding its leg up to its body so I hope that’s a good sign. It’s only about a week old so it’s too small to put a brace around it’s leg, but I looked and it doesn’t look deformed or different for what I could tell. It’s sleeping now so I hope it gets better, is there anything I can do to help? Like different food or something added to the water to help with healing? Thanks!!

It’s probably just sore. Don’t mess with it for a few days and see how it is. There’s not much else you can do right now.

Update: it looks like it’s gotten worse. When I woke up today and checked on it and I picked it up and set it down and it wasn’t wanting to move. It was lying down where I set it and when it tried to move it stayed lying down and just kinda hobbled a couple steps.
