to cull or not to cull :(

[veronicadm8]

Hi everyone!
I had an incubator issue that I'm still trying to figure out, but with my last hatch I only had one survivor, and that survivor had splayed legs and a slipped tendon. I was able to fix the splayed legs (or rather, one of them) but not the tendon. I would cull but it's such a spunky little chick I can't bring myself to do it. Anyone have a chick with a slipped tendon they couldn't fix that survived and adjusted? Other than splinting the leg anything I can do? I've seen the links, but if you've had success with anything else let me know. It is 5 days old now.

Give it food and water. See what happens.

I would wait and see. Don't cull yet. As eggbert420 said, just give it food and water and see how it does. If it is spunky, maybe it will survive in spite of the tendon.
