Update on the lame chic

We were able to tape the leg, quite the job I must say. When we put her back in the box she flopped around and couldn't even stand on it. We observed her for awhile and decided she was more uncomfortable that before. She finally sat down and started to peck and the tape and her feathers. We decided to remove the tape and watch her for the day. I spend most of the day with her. I took them all outside in the sun today for a couple of hours. When the sun began to go down I put her in the box with the youngest of the baby chic's (1 1/2 week old faverolles) She is eating, drinking, perching, flying as much as the other ones, and she is growing, so I really think its just deformed. I am not going to be culling her, (which means to put her down) I'm going to keep a loving eye on her and love her just the way she is. I still don't have a name for her what do you think about Ilene? just kidding. I think Ill name her Grace. Good night.
