Injured 2 week old chick

[vortle]

Almost 2 week old chick woke up yesterday morning non-weight bearing on left leg. She is bright, alert, responsive and seems to be eating, drinking, and pooping appropriately, and can move herself around if necessary but obviously is reluctant to move when not necessary. I don't see any swelling, wounds, or other signs of infection. I don't think it's splay leg as she was walking normally until today.

We have her separated with good footing, very shallow water dish with electrolyte/probiotic supplement, and medicated chick starter crumbles. Tried to hobble her briefly but it seemed to really worsen her mobility (she was falling down and unable to right herself.)

Thoughts on possible causes and/or treatments?

Looks normal. Maybe it's out of joint at the hip. I'm motivated sure how to fix that on a chick.
