Chicken with "twisted" leg

[Button And Bongo]

(Excuse how bad the video is)
I have my baby chicken, Button, a blue splash silkie I rescued from a rural king supply, who I thought had just a injured wing and had lost hope, but turns out she has other complications. I, myself, thought this would all be easily handled. Wrap her leg, flatten her toes out since their seriously deformed, I thought I knew how to fix it. She was hatched Nov. 2.
I honestly don't know what to do at this point, she's pretty big and we got another chick, bongo, to support her. Which seemed to work because their now best friends and bongo has given her motivation to move, eat and drink. So I feel like that helps?

Button is a mess. Her good leg has the deformed toes, making it extremely hard for her to stand. And the bad leg has perfect toes, so she's a reverse chicken in my opinion. Does anyone have any advice?

If you could hold out the leg. I’m sorry but it’s hard to see where the twist originated or how it effects the whole leg.

Can you post some photos of her legs?
It's really hard to see how they are positioned.

Some of how she stands possibly too.

I won't be able to get her standing. She stumbles so all I can do is try and stretch out her leg.

That would be good. Please give us several photos at different angles, sometimes it's hard to know through photos, but we will try to help you

I have a twisted chicken (blue/black silkie). He arrived from the hatchery as a 2-3 day old chick. His deformity was noticeable from day 1. he held the 1 leg up as a small chick and used his wing to steady himself. I was sure he wouldn’t make it, but I let him stay with the other silkie chicks. when I transitioned them outside, he would mange to get himself out of the coop, but I would have to put him back in each evening. He basically stopped developing past the 3-4 week mark as it looks your chick may have as well. I moved “gimpy” back to the brooder box where he has stayed and I lovingly refer to him as my “brooder captain”. (you can see him sitting in the corner when I placed my halloween chicks in with him). unfortunately this type of deformity is not correctable and in my experience gets worse with age. I am currently keeping “gimpy” as comfortable as possible but will probably make the choice to cull him at the 6 month mark if not before.

Button was far behind but she's growing fine now. Bongo seems to be the only reason why. She sometimes pops out of the cage I keep her in and bongo will lift her up to get her in, (bongos a bantam, so I find this so funny to be honest), so I'm never to concerned. I haven't seen her stop growing after I put her on some medicated chick started.
