This is my first time raising chickens. I have a flock of 100 Cornish cross that are about a week and a half old. This little chick can walk a few steps but ultimately just lays towards the side that has this week looking foot. It doesn't always curl it in like in the picture sometimes it's just regular looking. It will eat food and drink my water that is next to it still. And I haven't noticed anything else wrong with the chick. I have separated it from the flock for now. I just need to know if I can help it get better or if I just need to put it out of its misery.

Thank you. Should I keep it separated from the flock still?
I would bring the chick in for supervised visits throughout the day, so that it remains part of the flock. Her chicken sling chair could be located next to them in a playpen or wire dog crate so she can see them.
