Hello. This chick was born 5 days ago. However she looks like she was born yesterday and can't spread her left leg at all. Her knee (in the picture) looks very sore and red. She can't walk at all and we have to feed her and give her water manually because she cannot do it on her own. My family suggested we leave it be, because they thought it might be dysplasia or that it's just a development issue that might go away as she grows.
It is not going away, it's getting worse. She sleeps all day (way more than the other chicks) and she barely makes any noise, even when I pick her up.
I don't want her to be in pain and I don't want her to die. I can't go to the vet because of financial problems and I don't know what to do.
Please help.
