Mother chicken broke a chick's both legs, I need help

[henlo]

Hi! I'm new to these forums.
I have bought 20 baby chicks, and they have been growing up well considering their mother chicken has been with them (She didn't hatch them, she is taking care of them.), but yesterday we found out that one of the chicks had both legs broken (Or splayed? Cannot tell, he can't move them at all.) and if we were to let him stay longer with the chicken, he would get killed.

We tried giving him food and water as per usual, but he seemed more interested in sleeping and nuzzling his beak on my fingers. Most of the time I just see him sleep or try sleeping, rather chirping all the time whilst doing so.

I need tips and help on what to do, I'm afraid of the fact that he seems to be getting weak and I want to help him.

Cull the chick if it appears to be suffering imo

you could try letting it rest (in plenty of warmth) for one more day but if it doesn't eat there is no chance of recovery and it will have to be put down.

Aww bless the little one, we had a chick with splayed legs and we did the straw and band method of correcting. I was also advised by a friend to make a little bit of honey and water for the chick to have, I would put a few drops to it's beak a few times a day and it started perking up after a few days.
If the legs are truly broken though I don't think there is anything you can do x
