5 weeks old, being raised in a large metal tub, on tiny wood shavings, with 19 other chicks - see attached photo for the set up, minus half the chicks and the warming plate.
I noticed a while ago that she was not growing larger at the same rate as most of the other, but there are two other small chicks as well. Then I noticed that she was frequently lying down. I saw now that her feet seem to be swollen with some of the toes pointing in off directions.
Any insight as to the cause and how to help her appreciated.
