Injured three day old chick

Ugh my heart goes out to you!

That’s the sad thing we do not have a vet that deals with farm animals just dogs & cats

You need to get it to a vet. It may require surgery or other work done to set the bone properly. The tendons and muscles in the leg will likely have tightened from being out of place for so long. As well as some sort of cast or brace to keep it in place once it’s set. Plus exrays to make sure that there’s only the one break. There’s also a very very high chance of infection since it’s a compound fracture.

Even if you manage to push it back in the skin you won’t have a way to tell if it’s aligned properly.

I am very fond of my feathered babies you can tail if you go to Facebook to circlebfarm… I treat my babies with love I just wish we had a vet available for us

If I was in your situation, and if there’s not vet available, considering the seriousness of the break and the age of the chick I would choose to put them down (that’s me personally, in part because I don’t have the time or resources to care for a disabled chicken, you might). Just because of the odds of the chick both surviving and growing up to have a working leg that doesn’t cause it pain are very low.
The other option I might consider would be amputation. Which personally I don’t know much about to go about that other than it can be risky and she will need a prosthetic. I know chickens have a much harder time adjusting though being two legged instead of four. If that’s the route you want to take I’m sure someone on here might be able to guide you through it. And if you want to continue with trying to set the leg maybe there’s someone who could help but personally I don’t know how successful that would be given how long it’s been since the initial injury.
Also understand it’s a hard decision to make no matter what you choose and about not having a vet available we don’t have one here either. Praying that you will have wisdom and peace regarding what choice to make.

It has been a battle of decisions. I have someone coming tomorrow to do what’s best for the little one . My heart is broken because I came very attracted in the week I was blessed to try and keep it alive. It chips when it sees me and nuzzles into my hand when I plane it down to pick it up. It runs to me when my toy Yorke runs past us and when we go outside it stays right under me. I have tried so hard but I can’t do this own my own so I had to call for help. Being to one to keep giving it like I can’t be the one to take it.
