Slipped tendon?

[whitneylaurin]

This chick hatched about 8 hours ago. One of the legs is stuck up. It is trying to stand and cannot. Is there a way to fix this? The toes are all fully developed.

Can you feel the joint out of place?

It feels different than the joint on the other chicks

If it's slipped, then you can try fixing it. The younger the better, but sometimes it's not correctable.
