Week old limping

[HerrgesellHenHouse]

I have a week old chick that is favoring one leg. I'm assuming she got trampled. She seems to be improving I've separated her but she chirps non stop to rejoin the flock. I have her separated within the brooder. How long should I keep her separated? I'm concerned she will be shunned. She is also appears to be the smallest and weakest.

Do you have photos of her and the leg joints?

Any swelling of the joints?

If your brooder is large enough, make a wire barrier inside the brooder to place her behind so she's in the same area but can't be trampled. This may calm her down a little. Also, if possible, give her a stuffed animal or rolled up soft towel to snuggle up against.
