Unknown Chicken Attack

[leveric]

Hello everyone.
About a week ago, I was doing my usual morning routine for letting the chickens out of their coop when i noticed, one of my ISA Brown Chicks had a bad limp. I inspected further to find that she had a large scar with a coat of dry blood. I could only assume that the chick had been attacked during the night, with the scar, I saw some green lining and a bit of swelling. I was beginning to think that the chook had just fallen and hurt her leg, however over time I had noticed that the swelling was getting worse, and now I can see that the leg is a little askew. Perhaps she had badly hurt her leg.
Here are some photographs of the injury today.

There is only a bit of green left now, only in the area where there is clear swelling (around where it is bent), brown spot is where there was a dry blood scar.
So it would be helpful to get some feedback on what to do if it doesn't get better or if there is a DIY Fixation
Thanks

Have you checked for breaks?

We don't want to go to the vet.

You don't need to go to the vet, I was wondering if the leg moves where it's crooked? If it moves it may need splinting.

Well, she can bend her knee joint, but the bend in this picture is below that, but she can't bend that. I did a bit of research and it says that chooks also have an ankle joint, but after comparing it with her other leg, it doesn't look like it. Her limp however is getting better, starting to walk on it but I think she may have broke her leg.

If she can use it at this point I would leave her be. She can live with a limp.

even if the bone is broken, not saying it is, but it is bent.

It will heal bent. At this point a vet would be needed to correctly set it.
