Help!

My mom got a baby chick and wants me to doctor it. Something in its leg is broken or nit right, it hops around with the feathery bit pushed out and when I hold it upside down, it doesn't curl it's toes. If it's broke, I don't know where to look and how to splint it

Can you post a picture or video? Would help people see what's going on.
Also how old is it, and do you know how the injury happened?

I just got it today from murdochs. I'm not aware of what happened. I don't know how to attach a video

Most people post a video to utube and put the link here.

I would like to get her leg fixed up as soon as possible, so if anyone could help that'd be awesome

I put some splints on the bottom two parts of her leg. I'm not sure if that'll work as I'm not sure yet what is entirely wrong but just have to keep trying

It may be a slipped tendon. Google 'chick, slipped tendon' and you will find videos and links to help you determine if that's what it is and how to treat.
Here is a link with some good info and instructions, scroll down to 'slipped achilles tendon in hock joint' : https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry
Hope this helps.

Thank you, I think that is what it is. I can feel her tendon pop back when I moved it
