9 of my 10 chicks can walk without any problem but one has a problem with his right leg which is constantly shaking and the only way he can walk with it is using his knee

He's constantly in pain and I really want to help him

I've never seen this, but bumblefoot definitely comes to mind. It's been ages since I had chicks (10 years) and not getting a new set until late April, but I'd also look up spraddle leg? Last, I'd clean up that poopy butt, don't need any more issues compounding.
 
I applied a bandaid around his legs to treat spraddle leg but he keeps the injuried leg up(not touching the ground) and only stands on one leg
