This chick is one week old. I received her in the mail with 14 others. Two were unable
To use both of their legs to walk. One was a slipped tendon that was repositioned and she seems to be doing good now. I suspected this chick had the same issue but I’m not sure and it has quickly turned into an infection. She is not using this leg to walk and I have used epsom salt, neosporin, and Vetericyn. I cannot tell if a slipped tendon was the initial cause because the are is so swollen. Any experience with this and at what point do you cull in this type of situation? She is eating and drinking on her own and os seperated with the other slipped tendon chick.
