I have a chicken (her name is Captain Eileen) and she is about...three months old now, give or take. She is one of 10 in our backyard flock. Right around the time we were going to move them all from the bathroom to the backyard, we noticed one of her legs was starting to..stray a little. We took her to a self-proclaimed chicken specialist (she had no answers for us) and then later to a vet (who also had no answers for us) and so I'm wanting now to reach out to a large community and see if maybe there's anyone that has an answer.

My best guess at what happened is that her leg tendon slipped out of place? I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to help her...she gets around okay, she eats and drinks just like all the rest of our girls, but she does seem to struggle a little bit and it makes me sad. Any advice on anything we could do to help her, or maybe there's a way she can get around easier? Any advice will be helpful and welcome.
 
I can't see by your pictures which way the leg is going. Could potentially be something like Mareks. If it continues to worsen than that's what I would think.
