The one-legged chick

[mama23]

He's doing good!
I've been working with him on flying from point A to point B rather than dragging his leg behind him. I have also been trying to help strengthen the other leg but I'm sure this will all take time.
I was worried that he was going to get picked on by the rest of the flock but they seem almost protective of him.
I felt comfortable moving him to our outdoor coop this past weekend and he is just as happy as everyone else.

I just took in a chick from tsc that the others were pecking her hock. I had this same thing two years ago and made a lot of mistakes. I’m trying not to make those same mistakes with this one. Your post gives me hope should she not ever use this leg. Right now she just uses wings and won’t put pressure on her leg.
