Broken Leg?

[ParksPoultry]

I received a bunch of chicks today and in the mix were some bantams. One chick (I believe is a Mille Fluer duccle) seems to have a broken leg. It doesn’t like to our pressure in that leg and will hold it out. It doesn’t have curled toes and doesn’t appear to have splay leg. How can I splint it to help with the pain and discomfort?

I can’t attach a video, so this is the best I have. It’s in the brooder but in a separate area with another chick that seems a little weak. This hatchery put roughly 30 chicks in a small box, and one chick was dead on arrival.

It could be slipped tendon, can you get pictures of it?

From a more viewable angle, please. :]
It's common practice to put many chicks in a box, it's for warmth and security.

I totally understand for warmth! It just seemed like a very small box for so many chicks. There were bantams in there and it looks like it was really hard on them.
