Start some poultry vitamins on your chicks in case of a riboflavin deficiency. Here are a couple of links that may help you:Please help , I have 5 chicks week & a half old, eating & drinking great , poop is hard & normal looking but it can't stand for long & won't put any weight on its leg , the foot does not spread out like the other foot, is she suffering at all ?

As nambroth said, I don't think you can rule it out. The other chicks were already exposed to her, so there is no point worrying about things you can't undo.
What you do from here is a very personal choice. Quality of life is always something to consider and a ' special ' needs chicken can be exhausting .
You have been very kind and considerate of your little one but no one would blame you for considering euthanasia .
