Rooster Injured Baby Chick's Leg, Now it's Limping

[Bantam Trick Chickens]

The vet said it doesn't seem broken and there are no obvious fractures although there could be one. The only worry is that the leg won't heal and the chicken will become disabled. Since it's still a chick it should heal faster. It is most likely an injured tendon or muscle. It is on pain medication and we will be doing "physical therapy" to help it heal. Later, I am going to make it a small wheelchair to help it heal.
