Help not sure whats wrong with my chick

[Kitten110]

I have a chick from rual kind had her about 3 weeks she looks to be around 5 weeks I went out to the brooder to find her laying down with her legs straight out looking closer I noticed her other legs under her but her feet won't go flat she can move it but not much and the straight leg just dangles when picked up

sounds like it could be a broken leg. how many chicks do you have? by "feet won't go flat" do you mean that the toes curl? have you tried taping or tying the toes flat to a piece of cardboard, which would act as a pair of splints or shoes?

I don't feel anything broken and she dosen't seem to be in pain she is eating and drinking I've never had this issue

Have you brought in any new chickens lately?

Can you post any pictures of the chick? Is she in a brooder with chicks her age?
