Leg injury in 4 week old chick please help!

[Alanaham]

Hello I have a 4 week old chick that has a leg injury, my mother in law gave me her to help her as I do rescues. I think it might be a slip tendon. She does seem to have a full crop a lot that takes more time to digest as well. Drinking lots of water, giving little food until crop is not too full.
poop is normal and regular.
tried standing her she really doesn’t want to use leg instead hops more. She was sick but better now why here feathers are so sad

Have you felt for a break?

Doesn't look right for a Slipped Tendon. The hock/ankle will usually be cocked to one side.

Ok thanks it’s like she doesn’t want to put weight on it. I have been massaging thigh area and under belly near ledge and she loves it, can tell it helps, she could have pulled a muscle

Well it seems like it’s painful, she will lay back down or hop on the one leg a bit. Can stand on it for little bit but it’s almost siding sideways

Usually with a pulled muscle, or sprain, they'll limp.

Could be a bad sprain, but I'd be concerned about possible Marek's Disease.
Meaties are very prone to catching it.

Ok well it’s not a limp she was fine 3 days ago my mother in law said. Thanks for all your help !
