Week-old bantam with injured leg

[Crazy for Critters]

I have a bantam chick that is about 10 days old about 3 days ago my husband was trying to fix the separator board in the brooder and it slipped on her leg there is laceration and I am certain it is broke. We have bandaged the leg with neosporin. After looking on the internet we called a vet they said to put that spray on it and wrap it. we have also given her water with baby aspirin in it we did one aspirin to 26 oz of water and have been offering her that. She eats and drinks very well!! she tries to move around and hop around. her poop is normal. She truly acts like she's got this. She is a fighter! However, I think her leg might be dislocated at the hip, I don't want to have to put her down and unfortunately I can't pay $400 to take her to a vet either. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do? Any help would deeply be appreciated!!

Try this. Hold your left hand out, palm up, fingers toward the right, in front of your chest. Lay the chick's belly in your left hand, feet pointing back toward your body, overhanging your pinky finger/palm. Grasp the feet and legs between your right thumb and forefinger.
Slowly lower your left hand like you're going to pitch a soft ball and let the bird dangle for just a few seconds. Twist your wrist outward, and the bird's reaction should be to lift its head and body upward toward your hand. Keep your hand under, but not touching. When it does, you can re-grab the body.
This will sometimes "reset" a slipped hip or knee joint. It won't hurt the chick. It may work. It may not if the injury has set.

How long does setting take please? It has been 3 days

You won't know if it will work until you try it.
