1 day old chick leg issue

I am going with a splayed leg. Please fix it ASAP. I adopted a hen at 15-weeks, that had an untreated splayed leg and it was too late to fix. You have time. Use a straw and cut it to the length of the legs then run a rubber band through the straw and hook it on the leg it will work itself out after that
 
It has been 6 days since you first posted. Is she able to get around to get food and water? Is she growing? I don’t know from the video if that is a dislocated hip or a slipped tendon, but I’m not sure that she will survive like that. Unfortunately that is why some chicks die or are put done.
 
She is getting around and eating way better since i changed the feeder and water and mved heat plate thing. She is not growing as fast as the other two. But i think she will catch up with the change to brooder. i think im going to try the straw.
