I have a chick that’s limping and I can’t figure out why. She’s not acting tender in any particular place. She holds it out to the side slightly whether standing or lying down, though it has full range of motion. Doesn’t appear bruised or swollen to me (both her legs have a blueish tint in areas, she’s an Ameraucana). No visible abrasions or indication of a break. Here are some photos, I gave her an epsom salt soak so I could see her skin better. It’s her left leg that’s bothering her.

Could be the start of it. Make sure the feed is fresh and a good quality. Might not hurt to give some poultry vitamins daily for a couple of weeks to see if it helps.
