I’ve seen things done where people have made homemade splints or things similar for for chicks like this with bandaids or bandages. This may help straighten out the foot and help it grow properly, you would still have to continue to grow the splint as the chick grows larger. Keep a close eye on her and make sure she’s eating drinking and using the bathroom normally. Will she attempt to walk on the leg? If so that’s a good sign

You can make little shoes out of bandaids or masking tape. The chick should look like it has duck feet and should be able to walk but will probably be clumsy. The toes should set in 2-3 days and you can take the shoes off
