My chick can't walk.

[cole74]

Hey everybody i was told to come over into this thread. My 1 week old chick was perfectly fine then i walked in yesterday and found her unable to walk. It seems like somethings wrong with her left foot/leg. she can still hop over to her food and water but her immobility worries me. Any ideas on what to do.

Injuries can be very common, but vitamin deficiencies or leg bone deformities that cause a slipped tendon or ruptured hock tendon can be common as well. Is it possible to post a picture close-up of her standing? It might help to add some poultry vitamins to the chicks' water in case of a deficiency. Here is some reading about leg problems:
