Hi All, so we hatched 5 chickens last week, and one of them has a bent leg. Is there something that I can do for this chick? Right now its hopping around with 1 bent leg. Previously it was 'worse', it was using its 'knees' to walk and limp around, then we put some turmeric on the leg, and now it's better (hopping). The chick overal seems to be alert and thriving otherwise, but I don't know for how long..

Feeling very sad. Probably this chick got trampled on by mama or others. They're now in a small coop, which seems okay considering they're tiny. Should I separate this injured one? Would going to a vet be helpful? I don't know if vets here do chicks check up.
Photo attached, since I couldn't get a good pic of the leg. Thanks!
