Broken chick leg?

[Okaythen]

I’m raising meat chicks and noticed one of my chicks has a sort of limp? Whenever it walks it doesn’t fully extend its legs and sort of just crouch walks. All of my other chicks stand when they eat and run around, but this chick is always laying down, it even eats its food laying down in the food bowl and rarely stands up. Also, whenever it lays down it seems to be tilted to the left. Is there any way I can help it walk again? (Is there a way to attach a video here? Edit: video link

)

Honestly, to me that just looks like she it too heavy for her little legs to handle. Those birds were designed to gain weight extremely quickly to the point their body breaks down. That being said, obviously she is young so perhaps she just needs time to build muscle in them accordingly. She is still moving and when she does it seemed normally. I have not raised meat birds so take my opinion as such.

I think it’s her hip, when holding her I saw one hip looked to be inflamed
