The heat in the brooder is 95 and she is getting chick starter that was soaked in warm water because the chunks of feed were to big and I don't think it's slated leg because she wabbles around and will just roll onto her back with her feet up into the air none of the other 4 chicks are doing this

It might be a vitamin B or E deficiency, as these deficiencies can cause trouble walking. I'd get some infant polyvisol vitamins (without iron), and start giving some to her. Give one drop a day, and see if that helps. In the meantime, watch her and make sure that she doesn't fall over into a water dish or something. Try to encourage her to eat some scrambled egg of other nutrient-rich food.

You can hard boil it, or you can just scramble it up. You can give both the white and the yolk.
