Please help! I'm new to raising chickens. I have mostly Ameraucana chickens. A two month old baby chick was given to me to be a buddy with an older chicken that my neighbors dog pulled her leg and she was limping. I confined them together and the older chicken is just fine and now the baby chick started limping, pulling her right leg to her chest and is not wanting to put any weight on it at all. Now she likes to lay on her left side and stretch out her legs to lay like a dog. Lol I'm doing therapy with both legs with movement, massaging and stretching doesn't bother her she goes to sleep. I've read the comments from other blogger's stating to put minerals in her water, therapy and with time she might get better. Her appetite is great love mangos, bread and chicken scratch food. She was also a free range chick. I'm afraid she's turning into a pet chick that thinks of me as her mother. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
