i think the vet was wrong in saying he mum had laid on him to hard as the other chick is fine. I dont think his elbow was broken either but unfortunatly im not a vet im my oppinion i think it was deformed but as im not hand rearing the birds and i only check on them now and again as i dont wont to upset the parents i had only just noticed his leg. I'm not sure on weather it was splay as the whole leg looked back to front but as i say im not a vet Sad

. The other chicks legs are both fine and he seems to sit fine iv left him in with parents as i believe that is the best way for them to be raised unless something goes wrong i.e death of parents. I like to thank you all for you comments and help
