Yesterday when I picked up week old chicks from a chicken farm the lady selling me the chicks offered me a baby Blue Silkie with a damaged leg, if I would pay close attention to him and take good care of him. She said that he was stuck inside his shell and she had to help him out so while one leg works perfectly the other is stuck slightly out to the side and almost looks paralysed. When I looked at pictures of Spraddled chicks it looks similar but it is only on the one side. Since he is 8 days old now, is it too late to attempt the bandaid trick? Or is this another problem?
He seems more lethargic today and will barely eat or drink anything.
Very worried, he is my only silkie!
