Little update after the weekend - she is trying to move a bit more and utilizing a tripod stance when out of the cage. Still doesn’t want to put weight on the left leg...if I touch where her hip is in that area she screams so not a great idea...at least she can move it up a bit for now.

I put her in a temporary location away...
Have 3 young ones - first time chicken owner here. My white silkie just started being super loud right before dusk. She/he? is definitely the loudest of the 3...starting to wonder if it is a rooster.
They are all about 9 weeks old now - 2 silkies and a barred rock.
Any thoughts as to why she...
