Hi all. I have silkies that were born in mid January. They were raised on non slip bedding. This one chick was doing just fine but in mid feb to March it's right leg started to twist out but he could still walk around and was doing well. Now he seems to be having more trouble and kind of tips over when he walks. He moved himself away from the other chicks and sleeps by himself. I have moved him into a seperate room. Is it too late to put a splint on his leg or do you think it is out of socket? If so is it too late to move it back? When I picked him up and he wiggled his leg to try and get away it's like it almost twisted backwards......
