Are you saying it has sprawled leg?

There are a number of things that could cause this. The Poultry Podiatry page on my website linked in my sig has info on treatment for many leg problems, and you can look for solutions there.

SO GLAD you noticed it this early!!! You may have a good chance of this chick being able to recover if you start treatment right away.

Best wishes!

Sounds like splayed leg.
