Recently I dropped my buttonquail chick and since then, he's been sprawling his leg out. He's (I'm assuming it's male since he's darker than the other two), only 5 days old and seems to get around on one leg. I can't tell if his leg is broken or dislocated at the joint. The other two chicks started picking on him and pecking at his leg. I put him in a container with his own water and crumble in the brooder where the others can't get to him. How can I help him heal from this? I did see this rubber band type things on Amazon called hobble braces. Would those help? Any advice is appreciated!
