Chicken with "twisted" leg

I see, so she will be a house chicken, you will tend to her daily.

Yep! I guess it will be something similar to what I did before, a brown silkie. But make this a more time consuming thing. She's a good chicken, all she needs is a hand but I'm trying to do what's best for her..

Good luck and
Best wishes for you and your lil chick.

Can you build her a tiny wheelchair? Small, easily-turning wheels, a sling to support her, that sort of thing? It might be easier for her to move if all she has to do is push with her feet, not actually support her weight.
I know you want to give her a chance, and I 100% support that, but you do need to be prepared to accept it if it turns out that she can't be helped. There's a chance she won't be able to function properly, and she may get worse as she grows and puts on more weight. If she gets to a point where existing causes her pain, you'll need to consider euthanasia.

She'd only be able to push with one leg, but when she gets bigger I'll probably do so. I don't want to build one now and her outgrow it in one week. I completely believe as she puts on more weight it'll be more on the one leg, but she is pretty good at pushing herself along the towel in her cage now if she really doesn't want to get up. Or she sits between the food and water dish.

Build her one and let her outgrow it. She needs to start building those muscles now, while she's tiny, so she can be at least slightly mobile when she grows.
