Need help!! Injury

[lovethemchickens]

i have this older chick here standing like this all the time! Happened recently. Put a splint on her for her toe and it did nothing. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can help her out?? I’m first time chicken owner. I’ve never seen this, and I’ve even tried to look it up; found nothing. She also lays down often. Wasnt like this at all when she was younger.

Looks like it's coming from higher up in her leg. I just saw another post of this recently. I don't know if I will be able to find it but I'll try and go through my history. Definitely use the search function for leg injury.

Thank you so so much for sending this!! You are a life saver, or a chick saver. Whatever you prefer !

Still the same! She does do everything normally she just kinda looks strange while doing it. - If you know what I mean. Going to buy a splint online to try it out, but the tape one is helping out a bit. Just comes off often! Rather get one that will stay permanently. So sorry, totally forgot to check this site again!

You could try and make a chicken sling for her to sit in.
How long ago did this happen?
