Hello,
I've adopted a deformed chick, supposedly a 'ranger'. It's 10days old and has one deformed leg. From researching online I think it's either a slipped tendon or just deformed.
I work as a nurse at a veterinary centre so was able to X-ray but we aren't chicken experts and I'm not really sure what to do about this.
She's started pecking her toenail on the wonky leg so I've bandaged it up. The joint is now quite swollen as well. Oh on the X-ray the leg that's higher up is the wonky one.
Id love some advice please! I really want her to survive. I wondered if amputation to the stump is a possibility?! I can't feel the tendon as the Internet suggests. Pics below. Thanks so much
