OK, so our chicks have arrived. One of them has a lame leg. It is splayed out to the side and it seems to be struggling to walk (hop) on it's one good foot. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm wondering if it will figure out how to compensate and move around or if it just wont make it. I ordered three chicks and they sent me four, so since I still break even I dont think I'll call the company and complain or ask for replacement. I'm just wondering people's opinion if the chick might make it or not.

Will post pics of the little peeps later when I get home from work.

Thanks.

Go to backyard chicken.com bro. They have a whole section on medical probs and how to treat.

And the monkey presses the button.

Backyard chickens lead me to this site. this should be the problem and it's solution. Seems to be a common ailment. Wish me luck!

Interesting. That is not something that I ever experienced. We did lots of chicken hospital for other things though

Oh well, RIP Boo-Boo Chicken I. She didn't make it. I don't know if it was stress or exhaustion or starvation but after dinner we checked on them and she was dead. My son was crushed but he's getting over it. The rest of the chicks are happy so I'm thankful to have a day old flock with 3 healthy birds.
