New Chicks

[Sparrow the Chicken]

So Sunday, April 21st. I got my first two little chickens. Here's a small description and some questions I have. I have two black chicks with white lining on the wings and orange brown and yellow faces. One is named Citer(has more color than the other) and Sparrow. Citer continues to chirp all the time, over the night I didn't hear her but besides that all she does is chirp. Sparrow is quick and sometimes join the chirping.

Citer also has a small hop and won't stand on her other leg but if we touch it and move it she is perfectly fine. If anyone has a clue on what's wrong with her that'd be helpful.

And if there is other tips for the little chicks I have.

Would you be able to take a photo of Citers feet. That could help a bit. Also if you didn't know the breed of chicken you have looks like silver laced Wyandotte!

Thanks for telling me the breed and it wouldn't quit moving so the best photos were these, the foot with the red it the one it stands on

Hmmm. Everything on the outside looks good. Is she eating and drinking fine?

From what I see, she jumps in the food bowl with Sparrow and pecks at it sometimes but never really seen her drink water that much

Has she been like this since you got her?

Well yes, so my church on Easter had an event and bought 20 chickens we took two of them home. There is a possibility that she might of been dropped and had injured her leg. My mom called her friend who raises chickens and asked for some information what we got was to let it get rest for a few days and put it in a dark environment.

She must have fell and injured herself it doesn't sound critical so it should be healed in the next few days. Just make sure she keeps getting her food and water and doesn't get to stressed. Keep me updated! I have some eggs in the incubator right now and are due to hatch on May 5th!
