Whenever one of my Easter Egger chicks lays down her hip dislocates and she has to lay on her side.Does anyone know how to fix this?

Welcome to BYC! I'm sorry for your chick, could you post some pictures? They could help.

I don’t have any photos as she will stand up and run away when I come near but I might be able to get some this afternoon

At least she is walking, that is a good sign. By the way, what do you mean by it's hip dislocates when it lays down? Do you hear a noise? Is it fine when the chick is up and moving around?

It does not make sound as far as I know and she doesn’t seem affected when she moves but she lays down she is tilted

I have a chick that has a really weird leg, @nuthatched said that it would be okay, and so far, it is, thankfully. Mine lays down sideways as well mine will be fine.. are you sure that it is the hip, and not a leg?

I’m not sure but my mother seems to think that the chick has bumblefoot

Well, when you can, post pictures so we can get a better look at it.
