Splayed Leg or ??

[moxie20]

Hi All,
I just brought 7 chicks home and one of them is having such a hard time keeping her balance. She is propping herself up in a corner and when she tries to walk, she spreads her wings out to try to keep her balance but keeps falling over. Leg seems to kind of go out sideways sometimes. Is this splayed leg?? I feel so bad for her. The other chicks just keep pecking at her

Seperate her from the others for a bit if they are pecking her. Make sure she can eat and drink. If her legs are going sideways a bit, wrap a tiny bit of tape around the bottom bit of her legs.

Here's a good way to fix straddle leg. You want to correct it early, so that the bones grow correctly. https://the-chicken-chick.com/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it/

Thank you everyone for the help! I put a brace on her yesterday. She can't walk with it on, so she just flings herself around on her stomach if I put her down. I tried a sling and she just kept trying to launch herself out of it


I think she may have other issues as well, unfortunately. She has not opened her eyes at all and has only pooped one time since I brought her home yesterday morning.
I just started her on electrolytes/vitamins. I have not been able to get her to eat crumble, so I have been doing egg yolk with a bit of warm water to thin it a bit. She will eat and drink it I put it in a small spoon right under her while I hold her. I have not been able to put water in with her because she keeps flinging herself in to it and gets herself stuck, so I woke up every few hours last night to offer her food and water.
She seems to have energy. She throws herself around quite a bit.

Any other advice or thoughts are much appreciated. I'd like to try to save this girl if I can

Have you checked her for pasty but? I had one I had to clean every day for about a week.

Make sure it's the but, not the navel.

Thanks for the replies. She ended up having, what I believe was a seizure, and died while I was holding her later that day. I think she had quite a few issues she just couldn't overcome
