Hello,
Thank you for allowing me to join this forum. I live on a farm in Hawaii and we have wild chicks that were being picked off by a pair of hawks. After loosing half, we caught the remaining four, who are about two months old.
Not knowing much about chickens myself, I fed them too much protein initially. Three started limping on their left feet. I lowered their protein intake and one got better quickly and two improved but are still limping. They are all eating and drinking well but I'm concerned, as the one limping the most is not walking today and the other still has an odd bump on her nose (I've included a photo) . . . .
Would very much appreciate your feedback as to what may be happening. Thank you!
