Chicken having leg problems

[Canadiankitty]

I have a three week old chick who had curled toes when we got her and we tried to fix it, but her legs ended up getting splayed and we tried tying them together with pipe cleaners but it’s causing more problems. We don’t what to do now. She’s definitely smaller than our others of her same age. We have her in a different cage than them with some younger silkies and she’s totally become their mother but she has so much trouble and I don’t know how to help her. Any ideas?

That looks more like perosis or slipped tendon. That usually is from a vitamin deficiency. What are you feeding them? Is the feed fresh? I'm not sure if that can be corrected at this point. I would try some daily poultry vitamins and see if it helps.
