Injured leg week old chick

[ETortellini]

She seems to be favoring the leg and laying down a lot. I have her segregated due to bullying, so now what ? She does hobble over to eat and drink. Anything else I can do ? I appreciate any advice.

Hi. Sorry this is happening to your baby chick. I will tag some others to try and help, along with a few questions:

Is there any:
Swelling?
Blood/Bleeding?
Redness?
Obvious signs of injury (protruding bone, etc.)?
Was she vaccinated for Marecks?
Is she eating, drinking, and pooping normally?
Is she being bullied if she is with the other chicks?

It would be good to see picture of the legs from the front, to see if there is a leg bone deformity or slipped tendon. At a week old those are the usual problems, and sometimes chick vitamins containing riboflavin can be helpful.

Is there any:
Swelling? Nothing visible
Blood/Bleeding? No
Redness? I’ll check again
Obvious signs of injury (protruding bone, etc.)? No
Was she vaccinated for Marecks?Yes
Is she eating, drinking, and pooping normally? Yes. Even though she’s having trouble walking she doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable. She’s eating and drinking, and no loud cheeping.
Is she being bullied if she is with the other chicks? She was but had been segregated since.
