Can you post a few pictures? If it's truly out of joint, you can try to put it back in and make a split to try to hold it in place, but that's very tricky in chickens! Not really a do-it-yourself project! It could very well be fractured, too. Photos wouldn't show that, of course, but some sort of visual would help....
I'll get some pics today. I think I got it to pop back into place this morning by extending the leg forward with my fingers while pressing the knob back toward the socket in the pelvis with my thumb. It clicked and the hips feel even now. She is still favoring the leg of course. If you know how to splint it that would be awesome.
If I truly have got it fixed I must credit my training as an animator and my animation teacher in teaching me how to move animations with their skeletons.
