Leg

[LaurenMM4]

We got chicks this week from a hatchery. This morning, I noticed this chick doesn’t want to put weight on one leg/foot (more than what she’s doing in video). She wasn’t doing this Thursday-Saturday. Video link provided. What should I do?

she could’ve gotten hurt somehow or something inside her foot could be messed up. i would just watch her and make sure she is safe and can get food and water and everyday work with her leg and move it around.

Should I try and separate her from the other chicks? There’s 14 of them.

i would try that and if she gets better i would put her back before they decide they don’t want to except her.
