Something wrong with chicks legs

Watch her if you out her back to make sure they are not hurting her. The swelling is normal with leg problems, possibly a slipped tendon. Here is some helpful info on trying to fix a slipped tendon and sling chairs:

I think she’s too attached to her brother. She almost just hurt herself trying to fly out. She made it on top of the water drinker and then her leg got stuck, luckily I helped her before she hurt herself. She’s happily eating with him now. I was reading the first link you sent and I tried moving his leg around because it said I would feel it snap back into place. But I didn’t feel it do that. So I think you were right about the bone deformity, I just don’t understand how it could’ve happened so fast. Do you think I should bring him to the vet somehow? I have one within walking distance of my house, I just don’t know what I’m going to do to convince my mom. Don’t get me wrong she loves and cares about animals, she just doesn’t see the point in helping something like a chicken. :(
 
I talked to my mom and we’re going to call the vet and ask how much it would cost for them to see him. If it’s too much we’ll see what we can do from home. But if it’s not we’re hoping they can help him. Thanks so much for your help!
 
I’m so angry right now. My mom is on the phone with the vet (they keep sending her to different people so it’s taking a while) but I just checked on the big chicks, the ones that have never had any problems and one of them has the slipped tendon too. Please anyone does anybody know what is causing this? I’m so angry. I really want to fix my chicks. Please help
