Lavender Orpington
 | Hello, I currently have 8 chicks about 2-3 weeks old. I checked on them this morning and at lunchtime and all of them were fine. When I went to check on them about an hour ago the lavender Orpington was struggling to walk. It seems like she won’t put any weight on her right leg. There’s no signs of a wound anywhere, and her leg is not swollen or hot. I currently have her isolated with food and water away from the others. Any suggestions on what I should do next? First time raising chicks. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
