I recently got a few more chicks and one of them has a leg that they can't use
Basically it's fused at what I'd call the knee, it's essentially useless, poor bugger can't use it at all and hops around on the other leg.
I want to give him the best chance but I also don't want him to suffer. When he gets bigger it's going to be hard for him to scratch and I don't want to put him through that if it's pointless
So my question is what do I do with him really. Can a 1 legged chicken get to a proper culling size happily or should I just let him go?
