It's back under mother hen so I'll give it some time to keep warm before handling it again. It can temporarily tuck leg back in to normal position for a second to stand then when it walks it's stuck out behind. I have non-stick bandage. Can I somehow strap it? I have added vitamins in water. Shouldn't the chick be cheaping if it's in pain because of it hurting?
