I have seen photos of adolescent hens cripple with leg deformation. Sad that those particular hens have to live their life that, if that is a life at all? I feel it is worth an effort to give the poor little dudes an equal opportunity at living without suffering.

In total agreement. I can't believe someone wouldn't try to fix it? If I see anything "out of the norm", I'm on the computer trying to find out what I can do to help. Shoot if I had seen that chick, born to the hen, I would have tried to save her. I even had a chick born to a hen that got a splayed leg, pulled her out, put her brace on, kept her in the house overnight to be sure she was eating and drinking....took her back out to the coop and she took off towards momma and all the other chicks chirped and gathered round and by the next day, if it hadn't been for the brace I wouldn't have know which chick it was. She was hangin out with all the chicks and tryin to get the hang of momma's instructions. Too cute! I could never let an animal suffer, if there is someway to fix. The hardest ones to handle are the ones you can't fix and you know they're going to die. Even after 3 years I can't put them down. I butcher all my own chickens but I can't put a suffering chicken down. I have to go to the vet. Maybe someday I'll be able to do it, but so far not able to.
 
This little guy is still doing great! He's walking eating and drinking on his own and finally starting to get some itty bitty feathers :)

Put some triple antibiotic or Neosporin on his cord. Give him a drop of vitasol for infants(w/o iron). U can also put a drop in some water and drip a little in his beak every few hrs. Nutri drench is good to. Get some vitamins/fluids down him since it lost blood. The antibiotic/Neosporin with help fight infection. U can so just drip fluids from ur finger in to his beak.
