I have a chick that is about 6 months old and found her laying on the bottom of the pen. When I approached her, she got up, but had an obvious problem with her left leg. I thought that maybe some of the other chicks (some a little bigger than her) may have stepped on her since it happened right after I fed them - they get a little excited when new food appears. I noticed a dark lump on her knee. Not sure if it's dark red or dark brown. Thinking it might be poop, I held her foot under warm water, but it doesn't seem to dissolve or come off. The lump is about 1/8 inch diameter. She doesn't seem to be able to walk and stands only on the right leg. Any ideas?
Thanks
