My little baby limps and has minimal movement on her left leg from what I can tel. I wanna be as close as possible in knowing what exactly is wrong with her leg. (Is it broken, sprained, etc.)
 
Could you post a video of the chick limping so we can gauge the severity? To post a video upload it to a video platform like youtube or Vimeo.

Sudden limping can often be associated with soft tissue tramua to the feet, resulting in sprains, or strains of the ligaments. Does her joints seem to bend well without clicking, or discomfort? Is there any noticeable, swelling, discoloration, or lesions on her leg?

For leg problems, it's often best to limit movement to the legs by reducing the area the chicken can walk. Setting up a small pen for inside the coop, that's soft-padded would be a good start. Administering B vitamins, or soaking her feet in Epsom salts every few days are additional measures that may prove beneficial in healing.
