New to raising chickens/chicks.

Hello,
I am Sue from Southeastern Mass. I’m new to raising chickens/chicks. We had some baby chicks hatch about a month ago. One baby is still tiny smaller than a newly hatched chick. This chick i Believe may have a broken leg. I thought it was spraddle leg at first and she can stand on it but it twists almost backwards.
Any help would be appreciated! TY

Welcome to BYC!! With spraddle leg, their legs are usually spread away from each other. It looks like her leg is twisted, so you might get some closer pics and try posting her case in the emergency/diseases/cures forum.
Yorkshire posted a link for that above.
