8 week old with dislocated hip (I think)

[Kath78745]

We came home yesterday to find one of our chicks unable to use her leg. I'm no vet but it seems dislocated. It hangs limply though she can lift it to hop and tries to bear weight on it. Wondering if a trip to the bird vet would be worth it. She doesn't seem to be in pain but she can't keep up with the others and is distressed by getting separated from them. Advice? We have a bird hospital just down the road but I'm new to chickens and I don't know if this is something bird vets deal with.

Thanks in advance.

I would definitely think an avian vet would be comfortable diagnosing a chicken. Good luck!
