Speckled Sussex are a tough breed

Our poorly little Speckled Sussex chick which we virtually had to hatch ourselves as it was stuck in the membrane is out of Intensive care and is now eating and drinking with assistance.  Its main problems now are that its right leg is not as strong as the left and it has a tendency to lean to the right which makes it look a bit like Tiny Tim from Dickens A Christmas Carol. In fact i can almost see the little crutch under its wing.
It is amazing though how in a day it has gone from this..

 

to this...

 

It has a long way to go and a fair bit of TLC and some gentle physiotheraphy on its leg to try to give it a fair chance in life.
