This chick is 6 days old. Her feet were balled up she wasn't able to stand well at all, I splinted them and that helped. But her one leg appears to be stiff, and the foot is not flexible it seems. She isn't putting weight on her leg/foot and I am not sure why. I gently moved her leg in and out. her elbow/ knee seems a little larger on this leg. She doesn't have any visible injuries. I am including a few videos to see if any of you might see something I am missing. Thank you in advance. She is very sweet and my first silkie that has hatched that has survived from a rescue I took in. She will be a pet! I love her! Well, I tried to load a short video clip to show you what she is doing but it won't let me. So here are a couple of pix She stands with her foot back like that and doesn't put weight on it. The third pix she is holding it up in the air.

Her legs haven't gotten better. I have splinted the feet it corrected one, but not the other and her leg hasn't gotten better. I am not sure what to do. I love that baby but don't want it in pain. It doesn't seem to be I don't think but. Here is an updated video
