You could try this chick on antibiotics to see if it helps.
 
I've looked around called around to get some I can't seem to find anyone who has any antibiotics , she gets around to food and water but I've got it wrapped up so she doesn't cause more damage
 
Does anyone know if this is a disease? Or just a slipped tendon that has swelled up? I incubated a few eggs she was the only one to hatch out of 3 they were given to me from a friends flock I'm going to get a few baby chicks to raise as well but should I keep them seperate? She's never stretched her leg out fully since hatch I'm not sure it will get better should I be putting her down?
 
I had one hatch today. It seems to have a similar problem. I have no idea what to do. I don't want it to die. It's leg is completely twisted backwards.

It looks like a slipped tendon, but you need to look at these links to make sure.
