It could be a slipped tendon, search on here for how to fix it.

Some people have had good luck fixing it but anytime it has happened to any of my chicks I wasn't abe to get the tendon back in place and had to cull. What does the back of it's hock look like? Is if flat?

 

[lucky10]

The back of what? And what are the signs of a slipped tendon?

 

[Karrie13]

The back of his elbow area. Sings would be curled toes, not walking. There is a ton of info on here, just search it out. I would help out and post links but that is hard to do on the phone.
