Spraddle leg? Slipped tendon? Help!

The right leg on the one chick looks almost dislocated, but it also could be a slipped tendon or leg bone deformity. The curled under toes and walking on hocks is probably vitamin B2 riboflavin deficiency. Here is a link about slipped tendons:

Is this adequate for treating it?

Unfortunately chick 2.(who was named Little Bit because of her small size) passed away:hitI assume she passed away because of some internal flaw, but it couldn't have happened at a worse time. We discovered her death as I was bring a keet into the shed we brood the chicks in because it had gotten into fight with the other keets and had some scratches and swelling on its face that needed to be treated. Also, I felt the splayed leg of chick 1.(now Little Bit the 2nd) and i didn't feel anything that would indicate the tendon being slipped, so I'm starting to fear it's a twisted bone:( What can I do to help it? i was really attached to Little Bit, and i really dont want to lose another.
 
Also, the incubator was a Little Giant. I’m sure a more experienced hatcher might be able to use it ok, but this is only my third time incubating and I’m fed up with this incubator. So I ordered a Brinsea.
 
@casportpony I just saw another thread of yours when you splinted a twisted tibia. Do you think I should splint it tomorrow? Or should I make a sling? I have to admit, I’m getting worried. I have to dip it’s beak into the water to get it to drink, and I haven’t seen it eat. :hitIt’s only 1 1/2 days old. Also, at hatch, it appeared to have some unabsorbed yolk sack that was attached by the “umbilical cord”:

The chick detached it.
 
I haven’t had a chick with a slipped tendon, but apparently the hock appears flat. Sorry for your loss of the chick. Here are a couple of videos about slipped tendon:
Thank you! I’ll compare her hocks to the ones in the video tomorrow and I’ll keep you guys posted.
 
So I compared her( I refer to it as her bc I’m hoping for a pullet) hock to the one in the first video, and it does resemble it, but both her hocks look like that. Could they both be slipped? The non splayed leg appears more swollen than the other leg :confused:
