I’m in desperate need of help:(

My 7/8 week old chick has a broken right leg. It seems disconnected from the joint seeing as it hang. I really don’t want to kill her, I barely have the heart to try and examine her leg and hear her peep in pain.

Welcom to BYC! Can you take your chick to a vet?

Was she injured? What is the bandage for?

If the joint in question is in the hip, as it appears to be in the pictures then you are going to need an avian vet. Hip joint fractures are much more complicated and if it's treatable it may well require surgery and pins in order to get it to heal. An xray will likely give you the answer.
