Hi,
This is my almost 5 week old pekin x poland chick.
She has been with a broody and was Completly fine and healthy till around 3 days ago. I went to the coop to check on them and she was unable to walk.
Her right leg was spread out behind her. I brought her in my house and slinted that leg as I felt it might be broken at the hock.
But she has no real strength in her legs. When she tries to stand she just tumbles over.
I don't think it's a dificiency. We had a lot of rain a few days ago and I worried she's slipped and injured herself or perhaps her mum has stood on her by mistake. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I've splinted the leg I believe is injured and have been feeding her poultry vitamins etc.
I've also made her a sling so that she's not putting to much weight on her legs
