Is this a Deformed Leg, Slipped Tendon, or something else?? Need help!

[EmsHappyFlock]

So this morning one of my Silkie hens had some chicks hatch. I saw one of them wasn’t able to walk at all, not from it trying to learn how to, but from its right leg being extremely twisted! The lower half of the right leg seems to be bowed inwards and twisted. I had read about Slipped Tendon when trying to find an answer to this, I tried to feel for anything that might be dislocated, I couldn’t feel anything but I’m also not to sure what to feel for.. I had also tried to gently stretch the leg downward like I read for the Slipped Tendon but it would not budge, so that is what got me thinking that it may be a deformed leg?

Besides the leg, the chick seems perfectly healthy and perky!

If the leg is deformed, should I treat it as I would with Splay Leg so the right leg doesn’t grow outwards more? I also give my chickens vitamin water so the chick is getting any vitamins it may need.

I had never had any severe leg problems with any of my chickens so this is all new to me. I’m very concerned for this chick and if there is something that needs to be done for it I want to be able to help it as soon as I can. I have no Avian vets around so the option for a vet isn’t possible for me, so any help or information is very much appreciated. I attached some pictures of said chick below to look at, if more are needed please let me know. Thank you for your time!

What a cutie! I don't think I can help sadly though as I have no experience with leg injuries. Just hang tight and try to keep the chick as comfortable as possible. I'll keep an eye on your thread and make sure you get a response!

Update:
Unfortunately the chick had injured itself badly this morning (Broke it's right wing and got a really bad cut on its side under the wing) and sadly didn't make it

If anyone knows what could of been wrong with the leg, please feel free to still share it here!

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately leg and foot issues can be hard to identify. Many leg problems can be caused by incubation problems. I usually recommend to start some B complex or B2 riboflavin right away. Not all chick vitamins have that but Poultry Cell does.
