2 week old chick joint swollen and crusting. At first, she looked like splay leg and I attempted to hobble. This made worse and joint is now swollen. What can I do short of get? I have amoxicillin at the house that I can dissolve. Will it help? Attaching pics.

Has she had problems walking all along? Slipped tendons can sometimes cause a sore or scab on the hock with swelling. Do her toes curl under? If possible get a picture of the chick standing at eye level even if you have to hold her upright, just to see the leg position? Having a second person taking the picture or helping would be easier.
