Chick Broken Leg?

Poor little thing.

I'm surprised the feed store didn't give her to you for free. I haven't had good luck with chicks that have issues. Is she able move around by herself?

You can try splint it with an ice cream stick. but remember, if their legs have issues survival is minimal. Vitamine in the water and calcium. Do not syrynge water, you will drown her. put a bowl her size with a little colored water in and she will hydrate herself.
remember, mom teaches them so you must be mom. put grass seeds and crushed corn on the floor and peck at it with your finger. the same with water. peck at it with your finger.
If her leg doesn't look better in 48 hours, a vet may need to look at it.....

Thats what I said! She shouldn't have payed for a chick that would probably die.
Yes she can hop a little on one leg

Well if she can move a bit by herself at least there's a little shred of hope. It's a slim chance though. I have heard that chickens that have had a leg amputated can do just fine, so maybe she'll learn to get along fine with only one functional leg.
