Chicks Hip dislocated?

[Burnttoast5475]

I have this 3-week chick, and her leg is quite stiff, and I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with her. Finally, I noticed that when I move her leg her hip pops. Maybe her hip was dislocated while trying to hatch? Any advice will help!

It may be splay leg, but I can't tell from a still picture. It needs to be hobbled to hold the legs in a normal position, and periods in a chick chair might help as well.

yeah i tried to treat it that way but with the stilts her leg is still stiff. I think she has slipped tendon as well because her hock joint is swollen. However I think her hip is also messed up

Is vet care an option?

unfortunately no but im willing to do whatever it takes for her. Maybe i can try to relocate her hip join then wrapping her leg somehow or putting her in a thing like you said so shes not dragging her foot anymore
