Hey,
Any advice I have a Silkie chick with what might be a fused hip that won't move it's leg at all. It will move fine at the knee and ankle joints when I bend them but it won't do it itself.
I also have a Rhode Island Red chick that was born with club foot. We tried to fix it with a chick boot but it progressed to having a dislocated knee joint so it's shin bone is turned to the side. We didn't know if we should strap them or what.
They're both happy enough and eating, drinking, peeping away and happily running after us and climbing on us as well as they can but we were just concerned that maybe their disabilities may affect their good legs, like the other hips dislocating from over use or something.
I'm a born worrier so any advice would be fab!
