this is her now, possible a swollen knee?

she isn't dying, yet. It looks like a slipped tendon. Google it, and search this site and follow what you believe most reliable. I have successfully resolved this by laying the chick on my left palm with the legs straight out behind, along my wrist, and restraining the chick at the shoulders with my thumb.

With my right hand, I GENTLY rolled my thumb from the outside of the joint (where the tendon had slipped) to the inside of the joint. The tendon moved back into place across the back of the joint. Once it was back in place, I lifted the chick's body with my right hand and set it on its feet. Although wobbly, it was then fine.

Colloidal silver. It is a miracle worker! Also it could be she has spraddle leg. Have you tried giving her any mollasas in her water?
