What happened to our baby chick with the broken leg

[thechickenpeeps]

A year ago we had a baby Welsummer chick that got a broken leg somehow. It was horrible seeing her not able to put any weight on it. We debated whether we should "do away with it" but decided to see how things went. We also thought about doing a splint, but I was afraid of doing it wrong and making it worse. So we just made a barrier in the brooder so that she could lay down and rest without being bothered, but could still see the other chicks and gave her her own food and water. In a couple of days, she was limping on it, and by a couple of weeks she was running around with the rest of them. As an adult today, I have no idea which one of them was the injured one.
Just wanted to post so anyone looking for this could know that they can heal up just fine.

Well done - you gave the chick a fighting chance and it worked out really well. I think your post has good info and could encourage others to do the same
