So I recently got 4 chickens from a friends mom and one of the chickens walk with a limp. It only leans on it for a short time when ever it walks. I do not know if anything has happened to it but it looked alot weaker than the other 3 when it hatched.
It doesnt move around as much as the other 3 bird. They are around 5-6 weeks old right now. When Ive picked it up I have felt a little around it legs and when it moves them they crack like when some cracks their knuckles. The leg is always on a 45-90degree and the "claws" on its feet are like bent inwards. It clucks most of the time like its scared or in pain. It grips fine and when ever I let it grip onto my finger it becomes quite.

If anyone has any tips on how I can fix it or if I should put it down?
