I think my chickens leg is broke

[Mizelltammy]

My chick is 8 weeks old. They were all outside today doing fine.....I kept going out checking on them.....on one of my checks on them I noticed that one of them was walking with a limp. Then I noticed her leg seemed to be turned in...like instead of her knee? Being bent ou it was bent in and when she walked the leg kingpd of caved in. She does not seem to be in pain....she was even sort of running with it like that. Should I do anything or just wait and watch?

I would place her in a cage in the coop to rest the leg and watch it for a day or so. Put her on some poultry vitamins in the water, or take a B-complex tablet, and crush it on her food. It's possible that it is broken, or badly sprained, but it also could be a vitamin deficiency. Look for any bruising or swelling along the leg. If it's broken a soft splint may be applied with cloth, popsicle sticks, and vet wrap. Posting a picture of her standing, with a close-up of the feet and legs, may help.
