We have a hen that looks exactly like your chick. We got her when she was 16 weeks old, so it seemed that too much time had passed to help the problem. I wonder if hobbling might help (taping, splinting, etc)? Our hen still walks on her knees and has to be kept separately from the rest of the flock or she is picked on mercilessly. She is able to get around, but not very gracefully. Mostly she flaps her way around!
