One of the baby chicks has started to walk around with one leg curled up and when held falls to the side. She is hopping around on one leg and I do not know what is going on. Any advice? Image attached.

So you've ruled out slipped tendon? Based on your description, another possibility could be a sprain/strain (injury). Can you post a video of her gait?
I haven’t specifically ruled it out, just wondering the possibility’s. I’ll attach a video.
(video note: she did not walk when set down, so I have attached a photo of the way she holds her leg. She has been sitting and not walking.)
