Is it a newly hatched chick? If she can pull her foot under her, you may use bandaging tape to help her toes spread correctly. Some hatch "splay legged" due to some nutrient missing in their development. She may grow out of it if she can eat/drink ok. Its quality of life that becomes an issue and you'll have to judge how she's doing.
