My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple lump on the top of her leg.
I'm not sure if walking weirdly on her bad foot has made her hip inflamed or if it's the other way around and she injured her hip which is making her curl her foot like that.
I've tried strapping her foot open but I wasn't sure how to do it and I couldn't really get it into a normal position.
She has a limp but other than that she seems very happy eating and running/flapping around with her sister so it doesn't seem like her leg is bothering her too much but please help.

Here are some photos, you can't see the lump on her hip that well but it's sticks out and is pretty big.

Thank you so much, I taped her toes to some cardboard and am giving her the vitamin B and it's helping a lot, her foot is much straighter and the inflammation is going down but her leg is still kind of crooked, do you have any suggestions to help that?
