Injured three day old chick

[Holiwwod]

How is the color of the bad foot? Is it a normal color? If you lightly put pressure on a toe,, will she try and pull it away? Some injuries that are bad can cause nerve damage or hinder the blood supply. I couldn't see well from the videos and pics to be sure.

She hasn’t pulled away. And there isn’t really a difference in the temp of the leg. I’m gonna post a pic of her leg today. Not sure if it’s a scab or a bone. She does chirp when I touch it.

Here's an article where a woman created a sling for her chick that was having leg issues.

I would keep trying to give her your pinkie to grip on both feet, did she go out for recess today?

Is she acting like it hurts when you put pressure on it? The color looks normal, so it doesn't seem like the leg is not getting enough blood.

That honestly looks like bone to me.

Just when I touch that thing sticking out by the knee. Scab or bone?

Yes and if that’s the case I don’t know what I should do?? I mean if a bone is poking outside of its leg? Oh god I think I’m gonna cry.

I can’t imagine forcing that bone back in being this long she has survived. I could handle how the pain will effect her. I wouldn’t even know if it could go back in?!

Maybe see if you can flex it at all. A scab would have some give to it, I would think. I would guess it is a scab.
I would probably try to clip it off the part that sticks out with nail clippers or cuticle nippers, if it were my chick. There was a lot of blood in the first pic from a week ago, so fingers crossed it is only an old scab.

I've never had that kinda thing happen myself, so my best advice is a vet, if you can.

Seems so hard and pointy.

yes I know. Not one as far as a farm vet in Simpson co.
