Raspy 3 day old chick with bum leg????!!!!!

[yodercountrygirl]

This chick is 3 days old and she has a leg that doesn't go under her. she also is raspy in her breathing. What to do??

It looks like she either has spraddle leg or a slipped tendon. A bandaid brace will help spraddle leg. The breathing problem will be something else. I would brace her and separate her.

Look there for the raspy issue! Sounds like a respiratory problem.

I agree with the above poster in regards to the leg. Get a band aid and make a brace to bring the leg under it like it's suppose to be, and it should heal.
