He looks like he might be self blue, but he might be a splash. I think blue over splash is 50% blue, 25% black, and 25% splash. Black over splash I think might be 100% splash, but I'm not sure.

So make sure it's leg is straight, and do the rubber band thing? How long do I leave it on there? This morning the chick was getting around by hopping on one leg. Thanks, I think if we do this they will be okay.

For the love of god not a rubber band, its too stretchy and apt to cut in to the leg. you need more even pressure, so either band aides/band aide strip, or medical wrap, or gause with tape, anything like that

Good luck!​

black x splash is 100% blue
blue x splash is 50% blue and 50% splash.

With a splash roo you should never end up with blacks

Woops, I meant to say band aid I don't know why I said rubber band!

We looked at his legs but couldn't find anything wrong with them, so do you think it could be something wrong with his muscles? Oh, and about me mixing up the splash crosses my brain is somewhere else this morning so I apoligize but yes self blue is the same thing as lavender.

no worries, i do the same thing, not enough sleep and too much sun! you'll have to be diagnostic about it, could be a sprain, in which case, theres nothing really yo can do it will heal how it will, same with a fracture. could be a joint issue, or a muscle or even a tendon. i hate to say it, but poke and prod untill you find the tender spot. make sure it doesnt get hastled and pushed around/ trampled by others, and give it time, it should come around.
Good luck

(self blue/lavender? are we talking about actual lavender, like the lavender gene, or the powder blue that happens with splashes that don't have any/minimal splashing to them? haha)
