2 week old chick with joint swelling please help!

[Chickenaddict123]

I got a chick about a week ago and noticed she was limping. There’s not a ton of stuff I could find on it other then if she can get to food and water she’ll be fine so I left it. She does kind of get stepped on but nothing bad she doesn’t really walk more of a hop around. I was looking at it today and noticed quite a bit of swelling and what looks to be a scab up under her feathers right on the joint. I can’t figure out exactly what’s wrong and was wondering if anyone on here knew. Is she treatable? Will she live a happy successful life? Her left wing (the side of the injury) droops while she walks not a lot but some.

Up above the sweeping it feels like there might be a break? It feels off set from where it continues up her body

You might feel something sharp. Or the bone could be a little bent or disconnected. You might also hear or feel crunching.

That's good! She probably just sprained it.

Will it heal on its own then?

If it's just a sprain, then yes. I would just keep an eye on her, and make sure she continues to improve.
