Help! Several months old with bad leg

[Harlinewell13]

Puts light pressure on it, will not straighten it

Try and feel the leg and see if there’s an injury. If it’s bent or injured I’d suggest just making a splint for support. Give her extra vitamin supplements like vitamin B and protein as there may be a deficiency. Try adding eggs and some worms to her diet but make sure her diet is proper and that there’s plenty of food and water and see how she gets on. @nuthatched what do you think?

This is a most correct answer.

This looks like varus, a leg bone deformity in chickens where the foot is turned inward which makes the leg look bowlegged. There is no cure, but some birds get along well enough to live a decentl life. The opposite defect is valgus. Varus or valgus can occur in one or both legs. Here is an old thread where the chick in post 6 was thought to have a slipped tendon, but in fact was varus deformity:

Here is a good article about varus valgus deformities:
