Chick Broken leg or Deformed

[Mama.Hen]

I found this little girl walking just fine it seems but her foot is sideways....
I'm sure her leg is more than likely broken. I just have no idea how to help if I can or if it has already started to "heal itself". I don't want to cause her anymore pain than she may already be in. She's walking and eating. Very wanting to be with her sisters. She honestly doesn't seem phased by her leg or foot.

Where did the chicks come from?

You had a couple of birds recently that had some leg issues, were you able to find out what caused those problems?

The joint on this chick is quite swollen, hard to tell if the problem is due to injury, deformity or disease. She does have one spot (circled in the photo below) on the leg that you may want to investigate to see if that's injury/broken skin or just a bit of dirt.

If vet care is an option, that would be best. If not, then I'd work on getting 1/4 tablet B-Complex into her daily.

They came from Hoovers Hatchery. We have good luck with them, usually. I'm just not sure what is up with this girl. Her sisters are all fine... But I will check out her leg further
