Lameness after hatching

[Capstone Agro Enterprise]

My 10 day old chick has been lame 3 days after birth. What can I do or how do I take care of this challenge?

I would take it to the vet, bird specialist. When I had one hatch with bad splayed legs, he had to euthanize it since he said when they hatch that way, it isn't repairable and it would die slowly otherwise. It was $20. He said if they become crippled later it's probably nutrition and they could fix that. But there could be other conditions and scenarios. Maybe if you call the vet they'll be able to advise you. Good luck. That's so sad.
