Hi everyone,
My polish cannot stand on her left leg. It looks like it could be dislocated/ broken. Should I try twisting it into place? We do not have a poultry very by us. She is eating and drinking. I have her 1/2 baby aspirin and 1/4 tab of B1.

No, don't turn it around. It's possible that there is a slipped tendon or leg bone deformity such as varus valgus deformity or tibial dyschondroplasia (TD.) Those are frequently not treatable, but most people use poultry vitamins/minerals and splinting to try and help. These chicks can sometimes get around well enough in a small flock to eat, drink, and survive. Here is some reading for you:
