I have a 3 day old chick it looked like it had splay leg in the incubator. Then jump out of the nest box twice fell 3 inches. It got a wound on its leg and the right leg is completely dead. I think I feel a bone? Could be dislocated she holds it out to the side and can't pull the leg back. I have been hand feeding her mashed grain with vitamins probiotics and a appetite boost supplement mixed into a soup mixture. She eats here and there but has her eyes closed most of the day and appears very sleepy. I made a sling so she doesn't have to put weight on either leg. I notice the wings also lay evenly.

How is she doing?

I would offer chick starter for her to eat.
Can you feel the joint to see if the tendon has slipped out?
I had her in a chick chair with a mix of chick started, vitamins, honey and probiotics but she died this morning
