4 week old chick limping

[Barn yard chicks]

One of my chick got her feet stuck under the coop.
I seperated her in a cage.
She can stand but walks with a limp.
There is no injuries.
It's been a week now.
I was hoping it may be just a sprained ankle.
Could this injury make her permanent?

Can you post some photos of your chick and her feet?

Hard to know if there's permanent damage or not. Often it can take a few weeks to recover from injury.

How long was she stuck? Pictures may help. Has there been swelling, redness, green bruising of the leg or foot? Does her foot or leg seem paralyzed?

Sorry for the late response.
Had a bit of farming to do.
I'm not seeing anything wrong with her.

If she got her feet stuck, she may have pulled something and it will take time to resolve.
Might be one of those wait and see type of things. Watch to see that she's eating/drinking well and not getting trampled or picked on.

I kinda figured.
She eats well and moves around.
Possibly sprained

That little brown area on the outside of her right foot could be what is causing pain or limping. Hopefully, she will get back to normal soon.

Appreciate that.
