Strange leg injury please help

[Allen K Majors]

Foghorn, my 3 month old Rhode Island Red was injured when I released her outside today. The first picture shows her as she stands or walks with her right leg on the other side of her left leg, she kind of scissor walks. The second picture is of her right leg, it is swollen and it appears that the bones are spread out right at her elbow. The third picture is her left healthy leg and the fourth picture is both of them for comparison. She is walking around on it but it obviously causes her pain. It doesn't appear to be broken but then I'm not a vet. I searched the internet but could not find a similar injury to compare it to. I found videos on how to splint a chicken's leg but if it is dislocated I don't think that's going to put it back into place, I found a video on wrapping wounded chicken legs with lemongrass, but again if it is dislocated that's not going to fix it. If it is dislocated how can I fix it without making it worse? Please help I hate seeing my little girl in pain.

Is it still this way now?

If so, I would check her leg at the joints. see if anything is split. I find people often think it is a bone issue, but sometimes it is a joint and muscle injury.

Looking at the pictures, I really can't tell what the injury is though. I'd recommend trying to splint it, Lemongrass is good. If you can put any lemongrass in the splint, that would work well, but if it is dislocated, you can see to that later.
