I stepped out the house for a minute and when I came back in I saw my 2 kids messing with the chicks, possibly dropped it. One of the chicks isn’t walking good, limping and I see when it lays down that one leg is pushed farther back than the other leg. I have it in a box separated from the others , what can I do?

In the second pic it would be leg on the right, close to the wrist

All you can do is make sure they can get to the food and water. The good news is, at that young age, they heal quickly. I had a 3 day old chick break a leg, and he is now a 2 year old rooster making babies. Don't loose hope!
