Injured leg

[davis808]

This chick started acting like its foot was hurt about a week ago do I separated her now she her whole leg seems to have an issue. She won't stand on it at all.

She looks pretty young. How old? Newly hatched chicks can have slipped tendon--I haven't seen one with it, but it's pretty common. Do you think she has injured it? Rest is best for injuries, but I would recommend you put her on chick vitamins in the water, and you might order some Avian Superpak online if you can. It's supposed to be very good. Vitamin deficiency causes many foot and leg disorders.

She's 4 weeks old. I have some vitamins I'm starting her on. Thanks for the link. Hopefully that will help

Here is a link for avian superpak-- it sounds very good for vitamins and minerals, and I'm going to order some for my birds. Click here: http://www.randallburkey.com/Avian-Super-Pack-_-ASP-4-OZ/productinfo/26094/#.UlyvddKsiSo
