I have a 5 week week old chick that doesnt seem to be able to stand normal and im not sure how to help her. About a week and a half ago or so she seemed to had injured her leg as she was non stop chirping and wasnt standing or being active. I noticed she would try to lay on her side or pick up her left leg. We tried to inspect her to see what was wrong but couldnt find anything and being that she would occasionally walk on it we assumed it at least wasnt broken and decided to wait another day or two and she started standing on it as she was before BUT I’ve noticed that she no longer is active like the other chicks doesnt do anytbing other than lay down and only gets up to eat or drink and when she does she does this very crouched/squatted walk. I took her out to exaine her leg today and noticed she doesnt seem to have the balance to stand up straight and keeps squatting down does anyone know what the problem could be or what i can do to help fix her leg? Im not sure if some kind of splint could maybe help? Ive added a few pictures with captions to show her on day of injury. Today now very unbalanced and always does this squatted stance/walk and then a picture of her sister who can stand normal. I can add a video tomorrow if needed. Hoping someone can help! Thanks!
