Gonna need a little more intelligible information on this one, please - did your chicken get attacked, break its leg, etc? Is it a baby chick born with a deformity? A young chicken? Old chicken?

There is a "sticky note" at the top of this forum that asks all kinds of questions that are useful/needed for us to help. Copy/paste with answers and we will do our best.

If you take it to a vet, or chop the boneless leg off, once it heals, they should be fine. Ive heard of many chickens living perfect lives with one leg. They say they actually move faster. However, if it is a deformity affecting other parts of the body, there may be a problem. This is from what I've heard, so you may want to research or take to a vet.

This chicken is 6 weeks old, she was not attacked by anything she was born with no bone in the leg. She now uses her wing to get around would it be better to just leave her alone as she is?

You could, or you could just get the boneless leg removed. It would probably be easier for her to have it removed, but she would do fine with it too. Whatever you want to do.
