Donna, I thank you for the update because knowing "the rest
of the story" is helpful to me even if there is a sad
ending. The Achilles tendon problem that I mentioned has
to be the reason that the chick leg joints do not function.
A displaced Achilles tendon can usually be put in place IF
it is treated right after hatching but each day of delay
causes harm as the chick walks on its hock joints rubbing
off the skin causing inflamation and swelling. After that
it is not possible to move the tendon to the center of the
joint
