splayed leg chicken not standing

[ansmith1999]

Hi, my family has a splayed leg silkie chick that is not reacting well to us using a hair tie to straighten her legs. She still won’t stand, and her left leg seems to be nearly bent backwards like her joint is broken. Not sure what to do from here

Sorry about your chick. It sounds like she may have a twisted tibia or a dislocated hip. Some leg problems just cannot be helped unfortunately. There looks to be a little dried poop stuck to her vent in one picture which should be cleaned off. Here are some links to read to see if any leg deformities look familiar:
