Limping Chick

[PhoebeMay]

I just got 4 baby chicks on Sunday 3/14, never raised chickens before but did a lot of research ahead of time & have had a ton of other farm animals. Anyway, on Tuesday night I noticed one of the chicks was limping. I have separated her from the others, she's warm, she's actively eating & drinking (drinking water with Chick Boost, eating medicated food) but she'll only go a couple of steps before laying down. She naps most of the day but will chirp & talk if you pet/talk to her. The local feed store said to give it about a week & that I was doing what I should, but I'm still being a worried mama. And additional advise or reassurance I'm on the right track would be helpful! Thank you!

I forgot to add...there is no visible wound & when I gentle felt her leg there doesn't appear to be any broken bones nor does she cry when I touch the leg

How is your limping chick doing? Did you ever find out what cause the limping?
