Possible hip problem in baby chick?

[Kathers60]

Our chicks hatched on June 27th and unfortunately we only got 3 chicks out of a dozen. Our second hatching has possibly a deformity in it's hip. The chick wouldn't stand up after it hatched so my husband and I suspected it was a splayed leg the following day and we band-aid her legs together. We had taken it off after about a week to observe her, and she has gotten so much better. However her right leg sticks out to the right, while her good leg remains underneath her body. The chick stands up and gets around really good, and runs very fast to get away from me. But she also limps. The chick always eats and drinks, so it doesn't appear to be in any pain. I was wondering since it's still young and only hatched on the 27th of June if there was something we could do? We decided to keep the chick because of the deformity and let the chick roam around outside. We named the chick LEGO. Here are a few pictures. As you can see in the first picture her right leg sticks out. Kathy
