Are her hock joints swollen/have you checked for slipped tendons?(http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition/slipped-tendon) Can you stretch her leg out, forward and back without her seeming in pain?

I'd keep her (and all chicks) on a non-slip surface (paper towels, deep bed of shavings, etc) and give some poultry vitamins.

her leg looks normal.. well it did. it still stretches without her seeming in pain, she’s eating, drinking, and still moving if necessary. today i noticed her good leg is a little bigger in size, while the injured leg is skinnier.

she’s on a puppy pad and has been since i noticed the leg.
